Summary

Low back pain is a common musculoskeletal health condition in society. It is a leading cause of disability globally and has created a significant burden in terms of work disability and high healthcare costs.

Studies on the treatment of combined therapies for non-specific low back pain are scarce, so it is not known in depth which intervention is the best for reducing pain. For this reason, the objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the effect of physical exercise plus dry needling versus physical exercise plus elastic bandage. For this, a randomized clinical trial was carried out with a total of 22 people, where pain was evaluated using the ENA scale and functionality using the Oswestry test. Participants received CORE stabilization exercises. CORE stability training has become a popular training trend and has begun to be applied in rehabilitation programs and sports medicine (1).

The expected results of the study are that the group that receives the physical exercise intervention plus dry needling will have better results in reducing the pain and functionality variable, evaluated with ENA and Oswestry in 4 sessions.
