Effects of deep breathing exercises with exercise therapy on Non-specific low back pain: A randomized controlled trial.

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a combined intervention of deep breathing exercises and exercise therapy in reducing non-specific low back pain compared to exercise therapy alone. Participants, who have experienced low back pain in the past three weeks, will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group, receiving deep breathing exercises along with a McKenzie exercise therapy program, or the control group, which will receive only McKenzie exercise therapy. The 2-week program will consist of 40-45 minute sessions, with exercises tailored to individual needs. The primary outcome will be the reduction in pain levels, assessed using appropriate pain scales, while secondary outcomes may include functional improvement and quality of life measures. This study seeks to provide evidence on the efficacy of integrating deep breathing exercises into conventional exercise therapy for patients with non-specific low back pain, potentially enhancing treatment outcomes and patient quality of life.
