About this study
Official title: The Effects of Video-Based Stabilization Exercises on Pain, Functionality, Exercise Adherence, Kinesiophobia, and Qol in Individuals With NSCBP
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.
Read the detailed description
This study investigates the effectiveness of a 6-week home-based core stabilization exercise program in individuals with non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP). The purpose is to compare two different delivery methods of the same exercise protocol: video-based versus illustrated brochure-based instructions. Stabilization exercises are commonly used in NSCLBP management; however, the mode of delivery in home settings can impact adherence and clinical outcomes.
A total of 42 participants with NSCLBP will be randomly assigned to either the video-based group or the brochure-based group. Both groups will follow the same exercise content, frequency, and duration. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline and after 6 weeks using standardized tools for pain (Visual Analog Scale), functional status ( Oswestry Disability Index), exercise adherence (Exercise Adherence Rating Scale), kinesiophobia (Tampa Scale), and quality of life (SF-36).
The findings will be contribute to the optimization of home exercise strategies for chronic low back pain management.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Video-Based Stabilization Exercise ProgramBehavioural
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.
Brochure-Based Stabilization Exercise ProgramBehavioural
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 group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Video-Based Exercise Group | Experimental | Participants receive stabilization exercises delivered via video for 6 weeks. Receives: Behavioral: Video-Based Stabilization Exercise Program |
| Brochure-Based Exercise Group | Experimental | Participants receive the same stabilization exercises through illustrated brochures for 6 weeks. Receives: Behavioral: Brochure-Based Stabilization Exercise Program |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
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.
Measured: Baseline and after 6 weeks of intervention
Secondary outcomes (4)
Pain Intensity
Pain will be measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), scored from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain).
Measured: Baseline and after 6 weeks
Functional Disability
Functional disability will be assessed using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). The lowest score is 0 and the highest score is 50. Higher scores reflect greater disability.
Measured: Baseline and after 6 weeks
Change in Quality of Life
Quality of life will be assessed with the Short Form-36 (SF-36), which evaluates physical, emotional, and social well-being. The total score varies between 0 (lowest quality of life score) and 100 (highest quality of life score).
Measured: Baseline and after 6 weeks
Exercise Adherence
Exercise adherence will be assessed through an Exercise Adherence Rating Scale (EARS). Scoring ranges from 0 to 64. Higher scores indicate greater compliance with exercise.
Measured: At the end of the 6-week intervention
