About this study
Official title: Effect of Functional Lumbar Stabilization Exercises on Pain, Disability and Kinesiophobia in Women With Menstrual Low Back Pain
Menstrual low back pain (LBP) is one of the common complaints among women. Menstrual LBP may be attributed to the spinal instability resulting from ligament laxity due to hormonal change. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of functional lumbar stabilization exercises on pain, disability and kinesiophobia in women with menstrual LBP.
Read the detailed description
Pain intensity using Numeric Pain Scale (NPS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), Roland-Morris questionnaire (RMQ) and Tampa scale of kinesiophobia (TSK) were collected at base line and at the end of treatment (after three months) in both groups.
