Randomized trial compares core muscle training's effects on pain and function in chronic low back pain, suggesting tailored approaches.

Key Points

This research aims to compare various core muscle training modalities in alleviating pain and enhancing function for patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain.
Analyzed 33 randomized controlled trials with 1,757 patients
Used random-effects meta-analysis in RevMan software
Subgroup analyses conducted based on training type, mode, and duration.
Core stability training significantly reduced pain (SMD = −0.95, 95% CI: −1.35 to −0.55) and improved function (SMD = −1.09, 95% CI: −1.63 to −0.55)
SET (SMD = -1.43) and Pilates (SMD = -1.48) demonstrated the strongest pain relief effects
Functional improvement was greater with SET (SMD = -2.60) compared to breathing training (SMD = -0.75).
