About this study

Official title: Clinical Practice Guideline With Core Stabilization and Strengthening Exercise Programs for Low Back Pain With Clinical Lumbar Instability

This study will compare the effects of 2 exercise programs including core stabilization exercise and general trunk strengthening exercise programs on trunk muscle activity, physical dysfunction, quality of life and lumbar motion in low back pain patient with clinical lumbar instability.

Read the detailed description

Clinical lumbar instability is the one of causes of chronic low back pain, that affects to pain intensity and quality of life. For clinical studies using core stabilization exercise (CSE) as treatment have revealed conflicting findings on pain, functional disability and muscle responses in chronic low back pain. The CSE promotes local muscle system that to provide lumbar stability. However, the stability of spine related to global muscle system, that using in this study.

Being tested
Core Stabilization Exercise, General Strengthening Exercise

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Effect of 2-exercise on quality of life

    health-related quality of life was measured by using SF-36 questionnaire

    Measured: Change from baseline at 10-week after training session, and follow up session

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Effect of 2-exercise on physical disability

    Physical disability was measured by using Oswestry disability index

    Measured: Change from baseline at 10-week after training session, and follow up session

  2. Effect of 2-exercise on trunk muscle activity

    Trunk muscle activity was measured by using surface EMG

    Measured: Change from baseline at 10-week after training session, and follow up session

  3. Effect of 2-exercise on lumbar segmental motion

    Lumbar segmental motion was measured by using radiography

    Measured: Change from baseline at 10-week after training session, and follow up session

  4. Effect of 2-exercise on pain intensity

    Pain intensity was measured by using numeric rating scale

    Measured: Change from baseline at 10-week after training session, and follow up session

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Core Stabilization Exercise and General Strengthening Exercise in people with Chronic Low Back Pain, run by Khon Kaen University at 1 site in Thailand.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jan 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Thailand. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Effect of 2-exercise on quality of life (time frame: Change from baseline at 10-week after training session, and follow up session). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02895828, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
