Comparison of Core Stabilization Exercises Versus Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization in patients with Non-Specific Chronic Low Back Pain: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Subjects with Non-specific Chronic Low Back Pain will be recruited from Centre for physiotherapy and rehabilitation sciences’ OPD, Jamia Millia Islamia and community on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Subject will be explained the purpose and the possible risks of the study. They will be given an informed consent explaining their rights as research subjects (According to Helsinki declaration,1964). Following the screening, demographics including age, height, weight, and BMI as well as clinical characteristics such as pain by NPRS, multifidus and erector spinae muscle activity by EMG, balance assessed by Pedalo sensamove balance device, posture analysis by GaitON device, Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) for kinesiophobia and EuroQoL (EQ-5D) for Health-related quality of life. After assessing the baseline criterion measures, the participants will be further randomly allocated to one of the two interventions groups: (1) DNS along with IFT and hot pack (2) Core stabilization exercise along with IFT and hot pack. The intervention will be given for 6 weeks. The outcome variables will be assessed at baseline and after a period of 6 weeks.
