Brief Summary

This randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a 6-week home-based stabilization exercise program in individuals with non-specific chronic low back pain. Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups: one receiving exercise instruction via video-based content, and the other via a printed brochure with illustrated exercises. The effectiveness of the interventions will be assessed in terms of pain severity, functional status, exercise adherence, kinesiophobia, and quality of life.

Conditions

Non Specific Chronic Low Back Pain; Exercise Therapy

Keywords

Chronic Low Back Pain; Core Exercise; Exercise Adherence

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Kinesiophobia

  Kinesiophobia will be assessed using the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK), a validated self-report questionnaire that evaluates fear of movement or re-injury. The scale consists of 17 items rated on a 4-point Likert scale. The total score varies between 17 and 68. Higher scores indicate greater levels of fear.

  Baseline and after 6 weeks of intervention

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Pain Intensity

  Baseline and after 6 weeks

• Functional Disability

  Baseline and after 6 weeks

• Change in Quality of Life

  Baseline and after 6 weeks

• Exercise Adherence

  At the end of the 6-week intervention

Study Arms (2)

Video-Based Exercise Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants receive stabilization exercises delivered via video for 6 weeks.

Behavioral: Video-Based Stabilization Exercise Program

Brochure-Based Exercise Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants receive the same stabilization exercises through illustrated brochures for 6 weeks.

Behavioral: Brochure-Based Stabilization Exercise Program

Interventions

Video-Based Stabilization Exercise Program BEHAVIORAL

Participants will follow a 6-week home exercise program focusing on stabilization exercises. The instructions and demonstrations will be delivered through video format, which participants can watch at their convenience. The program aims to improve pain, functionality, exercise adherence, kinesiophobia, and quality of life.

Video-Based Exercise Group

Brochure-Based Stabilization Exercise Program BEHAVIORAL

Participants will follow the same 6-week home exercise program using illustrated printed brochures that provide step-by-step instructions for stabilization exercises. This format allows participants to perform exercises independently. The program's effects on pain, functionality, exercise adherence, kinesiophobia, and quality of life will be evaluated.

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: SINGLE
• Who Masked: PARTICIPANT
• Masking Details: Participants will be blinded to their group assignment and will not know whether they receive video-based or brochure-based exercise instructions. However, investigators delivering the interventions will be aware of the assignments.
• Purpose: TREATMENT
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Sponsor Type: OTHER
• Responsible Party: SPONSOR INVESTIGATOR
• PI Title: Master's Student and Principal Investigator

Model Details: Participants with non-specific chronic low back pain will be randomly assigned into two parallel groups. One group will receive a 6-week home-based stabilization exercise program delivered via video instructions, while the other group will receive the same exercise program using illustrated printed brochures. Both groups will follow the intervention independently without crossover. The effectiveness of the interventions will be compared between groups after 6 weeks.
