Summary

This study compares dynamic lumbar strengthening exercises versus Pilates, both combined with myofascial release, in 60 adults aged 25-35 with non-specific chronic low back pain lasting over 3 months. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups and will exercise for 20-25 minutes every other day for 8 weeks. The goal is to see which approach better reduces pain, improves function, and increases spinal mobility.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
exercise (dynamic lumbar strengthening or Pilates) combined with myofascial release
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could show which exercise approach is better for reducing pain and improving mobility in people with chronic low back pain.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The exercises are supervised and generally safe, but individual responses can vary.
