Brief Summary

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

This randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a 6-week home-based stabilization exercise program in individuals with non-specific chronic low back pain. Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups: one receiving exercise instruction via video-based content, and the other via a printed brochure with illustrated exercises. The effectiveness of the interventions will be assessed in terms of pain severity, functional status, exercise adherence, kinesiophobia, and quality of life.

Detailed Description

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

This study investigates the effectiveness of a 6-week home-based core stabilization exercise program in individuals with non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP). The purpose is to compare two different delivery methods of the same exercise protocol: video-based versus illustrated brochure-based instructions. Stabilization exercises are commonly used in NSCLBP management; however, the mode of delivery in home settings can impact adherence and clinical outcomes.

A total of 42 participants with NSCLBP will be randomly assigned to either the video-based group or the brochure-based group. Both groups will follow the same exercise content, frequency, and duration. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline and after 6 weeks using standardized tools for pain (Visual Analog Scale), functional status ( Oswestry Disability Index), exercise adherence (Exercise Adherence Rating Scale), kinesiophobia (Tampa Scale), and quality of life (SF-36).

The findings will be contribute to the optimization of home exercise strategies for chronic low back pain management.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Participants with non-specific chronic low back pain will be randomly assigned into two parallel groups. One group will receive a 6-week home-based stabilization exercise program delivered via video instructions, while the other group will receive the same exercise program using illustrated printed brochures. Both groups will follow the intervention independently without crossover. The effectiveness of the interventions will be compared between groups after 6 weeks.

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Participants
Participants will be blinded to their group assignment and will not know whether they receive video-based or brochure-based exercise instructions. However, investigators delivering the interventions will be aware of the assignments.

Study Groups

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

Video-Based Exercise Group

Participants receive stabilization exercises delivered via video for 6 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Video-Based Stabilization Exercise Program

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants will follow a 6-week home exercise program focusing on stabilization exercises. The instructions and demonstrations will be delivered through video format, which participants can watch at their convenience. The program aims to improve pain, functionality, exercise adherence, kinesiophobia, and quality of life.

Brochure-Based Exercise Group

Participants receive the same stabilization exercises through illustrated brochures for 6 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Brochure-Based Stabilization Exercise Program

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants will follow the same 6-week home exercise program using illustrated printed brochures that provide step-by-step instructions for stabilization exercises. This format allows participants to perform exercises independently. The program's effects on pain, functionality, exercise adherence, kinesiophobia, and quality of life will be evaluated.
