Abstract

To compare the efficacy of trunk muscle stabilization exercises and general exercises versus general exercises only on subjects with non specific recurrent low back pain in relieving pain and improving function. A total number of 50 patients with recurrent non specific low back pain are allocated randomly into 1 of 2 groups; experimental group received specific stabilization and general exercise (n=25), and control group received general exercise only (n=25). Both groups received 8 weeks exercise intervention with 45-60 min per session, twice per week and written advice. A Visual analog scale and Oswestry low back disability questionnaire were used to measure pain and disability. Outcomes were measured immediately before and after intervention. Outcome measures for both groups showed significance in reducing pain but experimental group showed better significance over control group in 8 weeks treatment session. This study concludes that combined specific stabilization and general exercise is beneficial in reducing pain and improved function in chronic non specific low back pain.
