NCT04619134

Brief Summary

The aim of study is to determine effects of non pain contingent spine rehabilitation in chronic low back pain.A Randomized controlled trial will be conducted at Railway general hospital. Sample size will be 32.Participants will be divided in two groups, 16 participants in group A will receive Non pain contingent spine rehabilitation (NCSR) therapy and 16 Group B will receive conventional physical therapy. The study duration will be six months. Purposive non probability sampling technique will be applied.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Visual Analog Scale

    Visual analogue scale (VAS) is a simple and frequently used method for the assessment of variations in intensity of pain. The VAS consists of a 10cm horizontal line with the words "no pain" and "worst pain" at the line's end. VAS is a reliable and valid tool to reliable and valid tool to measure pain intensity measure pain intensity. Changes from the baseline will be measured and at 4th week and then at 6th week

    6th week

  • Functional Disability: Oswestry Disability Index

    The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) is one of the most commonly used outcome measures for the evaluation and treatment of LBP and it is valid, reliable. Changes from the baseline will be measured and at 4th week and then at 6th week

    6th week

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Lumbar Range of Motion

    6th week

  • Shirado test: to assess isometric endurance of trunk flexors

    6th week

  • Ito test: to evaluate isometric endurance of trunk extensors

    6th week

  • Lifting endurance

    6th week

  • Fear Avoidance Belief Questionnaire

    6th week
