NCT07801053

Brief Summary

This study compared the effectiveness of suspension exercises based on the Neurac method with conventional physiotherapy in adults with chronic non-specific low back pain. The study evaluated changes in pain intensity, health-related quality of life, and functional performance following a six-week intervention.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in Pain Intensity Measured by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

    Pain intensity was assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Change in pain intensity was evaluated by comparing the VAS score before and after the six-week intervention.

    Baseline and immediately after the 6-week intervention

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Change in Health-Related Quality of Life Measured by the Short Form-36 (SF-36)

    Baseline and immediately after the 6-week intervention

  • Change in Functional Performance Assessed by the Neurac Test Procedure

    Baseline and immediately after the 6-week intervention

Study Arms (2)

Suspension Exercise Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants received a standardized suspension exercise program based on the Redcord® Neurac method. The intervention consisted of 12 supervised treatment sessions delivered over a period of 6 weeks.

Behavioral: Suspension Exercises Using the Redcord® Neurac Method

Conventional Physiotherapy Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants received a standardized conventional physiotherapy program consisting of thermotherapy, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and a home exercise program. The intervention consisted of 12 supervised treatment sessions delivered over a period of 6 weeks.
