First seen Jul 22, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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.
