简要总结
Aim: To compare the effectiveness of Mat Pilates with General Exercises in treating patients with nonspecific acute low back pain.
Novelty: Pilates, typically performed with specific equipment, has shown clinically significant treatment effects in people with chronic low back pain. Recent guidelines recommend patients remain active during episodes of low back pain; however, evidence regarding the type of exercise to perform is limited. Mat Pilates is a type of Pilates exercise that does not require complex equipment. Evaluating the effectiveness of two simple exercise methods (Mat Pilates and General Exercises) can help expand intervention options for patients with acute low back pain, enabling them to choose an exercise they enjoy most.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Pain Intensity
时间窗: Change from baseline to 4 weeks and 3 months
Pain intensity will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at baseline (pre-treatment), 4 weeks after randomization (post-treatment), 3 months after discharge (follow-up 1). The VAS is a continuous scale comprising a horizontal line, anchored by two verbal descriptors, one for each symptom extreme.
次要结局
- Change in Disability(Change from baseline to 4 weeks and 3 months)
- Change in Pain Pressure Threshold(Change from baseline to 4 weeks and 3 months)
