Trial comparing treatments for Low Back Pain
Official title Core Endurance Versus Segmental Stabilization Exercise in Recreational Athletes With Low Back Pain
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07760103
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Low back pain is a common musculoskeletal complaint among athletes, and most cases are classified as non-specific low back pain, in which no clear anatomical or pathological source of pain can be identified. Recreational athletes, who exercise regularly for health and fitness rather than for competition, often have less structured training planning and technical supervision than professional athletes, which may increase their susceptibility to musculoskeletal complaints.
