简要总结
Randomized control trial to examine the immediate effect of isometric exercise on pressure pain threshold (PPT) in adults with chronic low back pain. The secondary aim of this study was to investigate the acute effects of isometric exercise on clinical pain intensity.
详细描述
Participants will attend a single visit to the hospital for two hours, which will include collecting demographic details and clinical characteristics through self-reported assessment scales. After that, outcome measures (pain sensitivity and current low back pain intensity) were collected prior to the intervention and repeated immediately post-intervention.

结局指标
主要结局
The primary outcome is pain sensitivity
时间窗: pre- and immediately post-intervention
Pain sensitivity was assessed via pressure pain threshold (PPT) using a standard procedure. The PPT was assessed by a digital pressure algometer (Wagner digital force Ten FDX 25 with 1 cm 2 rubber tip).This instrument has been widely utilized in various studies and has been shown to be valid and reliable in assessing PPT among people with musculoskeletal pain. If post intervention PPT was higher than pre-intervention value, this indicated that pain sensitivity decreased, suggesting exercise induced hypoalgesia occurred. If post-intervention PPT was lower than pre-intervention PPT, this indicates that pain sensitivity increased, suggesting that exercise induced hyperalgesia occurred.
次要结局
- The secondary outcome is the pain intensity in the lower back(pre- and immediately post-intervention)
