New exercise method shows promise for back pain in young adults
NCT ID NCT07438145
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a type of exercise called Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) can help young adults with non-specific low back pain. 56 students aged 18-25 took part. One group did DNS exercises plus core strengthening, while the other did core exercises alone. The goal was to see if DNS could better reduce pain and improve endurance and flexibility.
