Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Menstrual low back pain (LBP) is one of the common complaints among women. Menstrual LBP may be attributed to the spinal instability resulting from ligament laxity due to hormonal change. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of functional lumbar stabilization exercises on pain, disability and kinesiophobia in women with menstrual LBP.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Pain intensity using Numeric Pain Scale (NPS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), Roland-Morris questionnaire (RMQ) and Tampa scale of kinesiophobia (TSK) were collected at base line and at the end of treatment (after three months) in both groups.
