简要总结
The goal of this interventional study is to investigate the efficacy of an acute bout of exercises on pain sensitivity (primary aim) and clinical pain intensity (secondary aim) among adults with Chronic Low Back Pain. The following question will be answered in this research Q1: Is acute bout of exercise effective in reducing pain among adults with Chronic Low Back Pain?
Participants who agree to participate and sign the informed consent will be randomized to one of three groups:
Group 1: Isometric exercise with neutral language and no verbal suggestion consisting of 1 rep of wall squat, 3 min or to volitional fatigue at 100° knee angle;(n=30).
Group 2: Isometric exercise with neutral language and no verbal suggestion consisting of 3 reps of wall squat, 3 min or to volitional fatigue at 100°degree knee angle, 30-sec rest between rep, ;(n=30).
Group 3 (Control group): true control (do nothing);(n=30).

结局指标
主要结局
Pain pressure threshold
时间窗: [ Time Frame: Change from pre-intervention (baseline) compared to post-intervention (immediately after session) ]
The pain will be measured using digital pressure algometer, FDX®️ (Wagner instrument, Greenwich, USA). All trials will be conducted on forearm, lumbar spine and calf sites. There will be at least 20 sec rest before an individual site is tested again. Two trials will be performed at each site. The raw values of each test will be recorded. Because we are testing repeated times, we will use a marker to mark the location of each test site to ensure consistency in location. Algometer must be positioned perpendicular to the measurement site for all trials.
次要结局
- Pain intensity([ Time Frame: Change from pre-intervention (baseline) compared to post-intervention (immediately after session) ])
