简要总结
Non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) is extensively musculoskeletal conditions, where manual therapy techniques have been widely employed in its management, but their short term efficacy in chronic low back pain still need more investigations. Objective: This study aimed to discuss the SNAG versus Maitland techniques in the management of NSLBP. Methods: 60 patients with chronic NSLBP will share in the study. Sessions will be conducted 3 times per week for 4 weeks. The outcomes will be evaluated for pain by the numerical rating pain scale (NPRS), disability through Oswestry Disability Index, flexion range of motion by back range of motion device, postural stability by Biodex system will be assessed at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at a four-week follow-up

结局指标
主要结局
Numeric Pain Rating Scale
时间窗: 4 weeks
The NPRS will be used to evaluate the level of pain by selecting a number on a rating scale, ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst and unbearable pain).
