Clinical Trial Summary

Effects of Global Postural Re-education Versus Laser-guided Supervised Exercise in Individuals With Non-specific Chronic Low Back Pain

Description:

The objective of this study will be to investigate the effectiveness of GPR or LGE, in addition to PNE and home exercise program. The primary outcomes will be pain intensity, disability, and fingertip to floor test. The secondary outcomes will be pain catastrophizing, kinesiophobia and depression.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Aged between 18 and 45 years.
• Diagnosed with NSLBP.
• Experiencing NSCLBP for = 3 months and score at least 3/10 on the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS).

Exclusion Criteria:

• Diagnosed with a condition that hinders their ability to engage in physical exercise (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes, cardiovascular disease, orthopedic impairments; balancing problems).
• Diagnosed with severe spine conditions (such as fractures, tumors, ankylosing spondylitis, or inflammatory disorders).
• Diagnosed with neurological problems (such as spine nerve problems or cauda equina syndrome)
• Diagnosed with mental illness or severe cognitive impairment that made it impossible to follow the PNE program.
• With a physical condition that made it impossible to complete the PNE program (the timed "up and go" test had to be completed in 10 seconds at a minimum).
• Receiving alternate therapy for related pathologies (myopathies and neurological diseases) that prevented them from completing the PNE program.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Pain intensity	assessed using the Numerical Pain Rating Scale which goes from 0 ("no pain at all") to 10 ("worst imaginable pain")	One month
Primary	Disability	modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability (ODI) questionnaire Each part has six statements rated from 0 (least difficult to accomplish action) to 5 (most difficult) The overall score goes from 0 to 50 (the greatest impairment) In individuals with LBP	7 weeks
Primary	Fingertip-to-floor test	excellent metric properties for LBP	7 weeks
Secondary	Pain catastrophizing	will be used to measure pain catastrophizing. Scores range from 0 (never) to 4 (always) for each item (total score = 0-52). Higher ratings reflect more catastrophizing of pain	One month
Secondary	Kinesiophobia	will be assessed using the 11 items that make up the TSK-11. The overall score is between 11 and 44 points. A higher score indicates a greater fear of discomfort, movement, and harm.	One month
Secondary	Depression	Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), The PHQ-9 is a self-administered 9-item questionnaire with four statements ranging from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day) for each item. A higher total score (20-27) suggests that the patient is suffering from severe depression.	4 weeks
