Brief Summary

Low back pain (LBP) is a significant health issue. It impacts a significant portion of the adult population, reaching up to 80%, and results in substantial healthcare and socioeconomic expenses. To find out what changes occurred after the application of two exercise modalities \[Conventional Exercise (CE) and Laser-Guided Exercise (LGE)} and PNE on pain, pain pressure thresholds, disability, catastrophizing, kinesiophobia, and lumbar proprioception in subjects with NSCLBP.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NRS)

  it is a simple and widely used tool for measuring pain intensity. It consists of a horizontal line with 11 numbered points, ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable). Patients are asked to rate their pain by selecting the number that best describes their current pain intensity

  12 Months

• The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)

  it is a patient-completed questionnaire used to measure the level of disability caused by low back pain. It is a widely used and validated tool in both research and clinical settings. Studies show high test-retest reliability of 0.90

Study Arms (1)

Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or cold laser therapy

EXPERIMENTAL

uses low-level lasers or light-emitting diodes to stimulate cellular function and improve healing. Physiotherapy, sports medicine, and rehabilitation use it as a non-invasive, painless complement or adjuvant therapy

Diagnostic Test: Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or cold laser therapy
