Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of brunkow exercise program and lumbar stabilization exercises on pain, range of motion and disability in patients with chronic non- specific low back pain

Detailed Description

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

The majority of research studies have primarily focused on lumbar stabilization exercises used as a standard treatment with mobilization. To the best of our knowledge it has shown that lumbar stabilization exercises alone are less efficient than lumbar stabilization exercises in strengthening muscular strength and decreasing pain in female patients with persistent low back pain than lumbar stabilization exercises combined with pain neuroscience education. However, more extensive research on a range of educational and activity programs was required. Stabilization exercises with other modalities, manual techniques, mobilizations, or exercise therapy have been practiced in the treatment of chronic non specific low back pain were found effective individually, but there was a lack of comprehensive studies including randomized clinical trials directly comparing the brunkow exercises program with stabilization exercises in patients with chronic non- specific low back pain.

This study investigates and adds up an effective and evolutionary treatment protocol in the world of physical therapy for the management of chronic non-specific low back pain rather than other conventional therapy providing to the patients with chronic low back pain now a days.
