简要总结
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of abdominal hollowing and piriformis stretching exercises in managing symptoms of spondylolisthesis. The randomized controlled trial will involve 60 participants, who will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group receiving the exercises or a control group receiving standard physiotherapy treatment. The primary outcomes of the study include pain intensity, functional disability, and kinesiophobia. Data will be collected at baseline and after 6 weeks of intervention. The goal is to assess whether these exercises can significantly reduce pain, improve mobility, and decrease fear of movement in patients with spondylolisthesis.

入选标准
- •Participants eligible for the study must meet the following criteria: Both male and female patients, regardless of age, diagnosed with spondylolisthesis through radiological examination of the lumbar spine (L1 to L5 segment).
- •Patients experiencing low back pain with or without leg pain, regardless of whether the condition is acute or chronic.
- •Participants willing to provide informed consent and participate in the full course of the study.
排除标准
- •Participants will be excluded from the study if they meet any of the following criteria: History of spinal surgery, especially those with spinal fixation, as they may not respond to physiotherapy.
- •Any prior exercise therapy for back pain in the last 2 months, as this may affect the response to the interventions.
- •Presence of any neurological disorders that could interfere with participation or the treatment outcomes.
- •Patients with conditions other than spondylolisthesis causing back pain.
- •Pregnant women, as certain exercises may be contraindicated during pregnancy.
