Brief Summary

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

Conditions

Pain, Back

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Pain intensity

  assessed using the Numerical Pain Rating Scale which goes from 0 ("no pain at all") to 10 ("worst imaginable pain")

  One month

• 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

• Fingertip-to-floor test

  excellent metric properties for LBP

  7 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Pain catastrophizing

  One month

• Kinesiophobia

  One month

• Depression

  4 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Global Postural Re-education

EXPERIMENTAL

is a physical therapy method developed in France by Philippe-Emmanuel Souchard. This therapy method is founded on an integrated concept of the muscular system, which is composed of muscle chains. These muscle chains are susceptible to shortening as a result of constitutional, behavioral, and psychological factors, Patients allocated to this group will be having a GPR method course of 8 sessions, two sessions per week for a four-week period. Each session will consist of 3 therapeutic postures, lying, sitting, or standing, to be held for 15-20 minutes each. The postures used are considered the most effective in lengthening the posterior chain, which is usually shortened in patients with LBP.

Laser-guided Supervised Exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients allocated to this group will be having a LGSE method course of 8 sessions, two sessions per week for a four-week period. Each session will consist of lumbar movement control exercises. The physiotherapist responsible for the intervention corrected each participant individually as required when performing the movement control exercises to ensure the correct technique. The exercises is progress from the supine position through to standing, 4-point kneeling. The program consists of 8 exercises first starting with abdominal-diaphragmatic breathing and isolated contraction of the transversus abdominis contractions of 10 seconds' duration 5 repetition, Abdominal preparation, Pelvic elevation with previous transversus abdominis contraction and neutral pelvis,

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 45 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

• 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).

You may not qualify if:

• 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.
