Summary

Non-specific chronic low back pain is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorders worldwide and is associated with functional limitations and reduced quality of life. Exercise-based physiotherapy approaches are strongly recommended in clinical guidelines. Pilates exercises are frequently used due to their potential effects on core stability and movement control, while conventional physiotherapy remains a commonly applied treatment method. However, randomized controlled trials directly comparing these interventions are limited.

This study aims to compare the short-term effects of reformer Pilates exercises and conventional physiotherapy on pain intensity, functional disability and health-related quality of life in individuals with non-specific chronic low back pain.

Conditions

  • Low Back Pain

Interventions

OTHER

reformer Pilates exercises

focusing on core stabilization, flexibility, posture, and muscle strength

OTHER

conventional physiotherapy group

Participants in the conventional physiotherapy group will receive a structured physiotherapy program consisting of electrotherapy modalities and therapeutic exercises. The treatment program will include superficial heat therapy, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and therapeutic ultrasound based on individual clinical needs. This will be followed by supervised stretching, strengthening, and lumbar stabilization exercises designed to improve trunk control and functional performance.
