Summary

This trial compares whole-body vibration and Pilates, both added to standard physiotherapy, for people aged 18–40 with chronic non-specific low back pain lasting over 12 weeks. Over four weeks, researchers will measure changes in pain, balance, and lifting ability to see which approach offers greater relief and functional improvement.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
whole-body vibration therapy and Pilates exercises
What this could lead to
If one approach proves more effective, it could offer a simple, drug-free option for managing chronic low back pain and improving daily function.
What could go wrong
This is a small, short-term trial (68 people, 4 weeks). Results may not apply to everyone, and neither method may prove clearly better than standard care alone.
