Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the v-siting posture stabilization and clamshell exercises on pain and disability in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain.


Clinical Trial Description

Chronic low back pain (LBP) is a common musculoskeletal pain disorder that affects most adults and has the highest prevalence among other chronic musculoskeletal pain disorders. Non-traumatic lower back pain can have different etiologies: intervertebral disc related, vertebral body related, and facet joint related and sacroiliac joint related. Non-specific low back pain affects people of all ages and is a leading contributor to disease burden worldwide. Non-specific low back pain does not have a known pathoanatomical cause. Treatment of non-specific chronic low back pain includes manual therapy, exercise therapy, massage, acupuncture, yoga, cognitive behavioral therapy, and intensive interdisciplinary treatment. Previous studies have compared the effects of different exercise therapies, other treatment modalities, osteopathic techniques, manual therapies, and yoga and eurhythmy therapy for the management of low back pain. There is very little literature found to evaluate the effects of single movement technique V-sitting exercises and modified clamshell exercises in the management of non-specific chronic low back pain. Previous literature showed less treatment sessions and follow up periods as they are barrier to see the exact picture of effects of treatment protocol followed. In contrast longer duration of treatment regime allow deep insight of the effects of the main treatment body. This study will fulfill these literature gaps. This study will find the comparative effects of V-sitting posture stabilization and Modified Clamshell exercises in the treatment of non-specific chronic low back pain with more treatment sessions in both genders. ;
