Brief Summary

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

This study evaluates the effect of a supervised exercise program on paraspinal muscle morphology and function, as well as disability/function in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain. Half of the participants will do a targeted paraspinal muscle exercise program, while the other half will do a general exercise program.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Targeted exercise program

Targeted motor control and isolated lumbar extensor strengthening exercises. Supervised 12-week program, 2 times a week.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Targeted exercise program

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants in this experimental intervention group will perform a combination of motor control and isolated lumbar extensor strenghtening exercises. The level of difficulty of the exercises will be progressed gradually. The intervention will last 12 weeks, and each participant will have 2 supervised exercise sessions per week.

General exercise program

General exercise program including upper body and lower body strengthening and flexibility exercises. Supervised 12-week program, 2 times a week.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

General exercise program

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants in this active intervention group will perform a generalized exercise program comprising upper-body and lower-body and hip strengthening exercises, as well as flexibility. The level of difficulty of the exercises will be progressed gradually. The intervention will last 12 weeks, and each participant will have 2 supervised exercise sessions per week.
