Pelvic Control Training with Biofeedback vs Core Stability for Non-Specific Low Back Pain

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

In this study, adults with non-specific low back pain are randomized to receive either pelvic control training using a pressure biofeedback unit or core stability training. Both groups also receive routine heat therapy three times per week for four weeks. The trial measures pain, range of motion, muscle strength, and functional disability to compare the two training approaches. Prior evidence suggests core stabilization helps reduce pain and disability, while this design explores whether biofeedback-based pelvic control offers additional benefits. Outcomes will inform which exercise approach better improves function and comfort in chronic low back pain.
