Brief Summary

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

This study aims to determine whether Pilates-based stability or eccentric training is more effective for patients with multiple sclerosis(MS) with chronic non-specific low back pain(NSLBP).

Detailed Description

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

Thirty adult patients with multiple sclerosis with chronic NSLBP verified diagnosis of MS by a specialized neurologist will be questioned and screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Patients were randomly allocated to one of two groups: (Pilates or Eccentric). Every individual in both groups will be examined before and after the 6-week treatment program.

The handheld dynamometer assessed isometric trunk flexion and extension strength Pain intensity by casual analog scale (VAS). The Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS) evaluates static and dynamic sitting balance and trunk coordination in a seated position.
