Randomized trial compares core stability exercises with conventional therapy on pain management in adults, suggesting added benefits.

Key Points

The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of core stability exercises alongside conventional therapy in reducing pain and disability in chronic low back pain.
Conducted as a randomized single-blind trial from April to September 2024 across two clinics.
Sixty patients with chronic non-specific low back pain were randomly assigned to core stability exercises plus conventional treatment or conventional treatment only.
Intervention lasted four weeks with assessments using Visual Analog Scale, Oswestry Disability Index, and Fear-Avoidance Belief Questionnaire at baseline and post-intervention.
CSE plus CTT group showed a significant reduction in pain levels (VAS: -4.70 vs. -2.36; effect size 1.51; p < 0.001).
Fear-avoidance beliefs related to work decreased much more in the CSE plus CTT group (FABQW: -13.3 vs. -3.76; effect size 2.58; p < 0.001).
Disability reduction was also greater in the CSE plus CTT group (ODI: -14.53% vs. -5.13%; effect size 2.03; p < 0.001).
