Brief Summary

This study is a randomized controlled trial. Aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Comprehensive exercise based rehabilitation program on Pain, Function, and Disability in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Individuals with Chronic Low Back Pain. Objectives of this study are Phase 1: To profile characteristics of low back pain in Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus; Phase 2: To evaluate the effect of comprehensive rehabilitation in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus individuals suffering from chronic low back pain. There will be 2 groups, intervention group and control group. Intervention group will receive comprehensive exercise based rehabilitation program and control group will receive standard protocol. Comprehensive exercise based rehabilitation program will include pain management using photobiomodulation therapy; pain education and ergonomic advice; and exercise interventions targeting functional restoration and recovery which will include low back exercises, core exercises, lower limb exercises, and ambulation which will include postural exercises, functional strength restoration, flexibility training, lumbar stabilization exercises, neural mobilization, and functional exercises along with standard care. Exercises will be done for 12 weeks. These exercises will be progressed as per speed, resistance, repetition, and difficulty at 4th and 8th week. Control group will receive standard care, moist heat for pain relief and conventional exercises which will include core and low back exercises. Primary outcome measures are Pressure pain Threshold using algometer, Gait analysis using Win-track  and Pain using Numeric pain rating scale.  Secondary outcome measures are Disability using Oswestry disability index and Soft tissue changes using MRI of low back. Outcomes will be measured at baseline, at 12 weeks and at 24 weeks.
