Overview
Brief Summary
Brief Summary: Low back pain (LBP) is an important public health problem due to the increasing world population and aging. In chronic LBP, exercise therapy is among the first-line treatments. Core stabilization exercises (CSE), one of the motor control exercises, focus on the activation and control of the deep spinal muscles. Recently, some studies have shown that Russian electrical stimulation alone or combined with exercise can provide contraction in deep stabilizer muscles and significantly reduce pain in patients with LBP

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •The duration of the disease is more than 3 months with pain scores greater than four in the VAS disability score of 19% or greater as evident from the modified oswestry disability.
Exclusion Criteria

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Quality of life by using Oswestry Disability Index (OID)
Time Frame: 6 weeks
questioner, Score from 0 to 19% indicate minimal disability- 20 to 39% represent moderate disability- 40 to 59% represent severe disability- 60 to 79% represent crippled disability- and scores from 80 to 100% represents patients that are confined to bed
Pain scoring
Time Frame: 6 weeks
pain measured by VAS tool, 0 the least pain while 10 the highest one
Secondary Outcomes
- Stability and mobility of spine(6 weeks)
- Muscle thickness assessment(6 weeks)
