Implication

Randomized trial shows improved pain sensitivity and strength in chronic low back pain patients after training, suggesting benefits for rehabilitation.

Key Points

To evaluate the effects of whole-body strength training on pain sensitivity and strength in chronic low back pain patients.
Randomized controlled trial design with two groups: intervention group (IG) and control group (CG)
32 patients completed the intervention with strength and pain assessments at baseline, post-intervention, and follow-up
Implemented group exercise combined with whole-body strength training.
IG showed significant improvement in pain perception threshold (PPT) over time (T0 = 38.2 ± 21.1; T1 = 48.1 ± 29.1) with p = 0.048
NRS scores significantly decreased in the IG (T0 = 5.0 ± 1.7; T1 = 3.8 ± 1.7; T2 = 3.8 ± 1.5) with p < 0.001
Core extension and flexion strength increased in IG (extension T0 = 60.0 ± 23.7; T1 = 74.4 ± 28.9; flexion T0 = 40.3 ± 16.9; T1 = 48.5 ± 19.2) with p ≤ 0.001.
