Effects of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization on Pain, Posture, and Quality of Life in Chronic Low Back Pain

Turkey (Türkiye)20 participantsStarted 2025-12-03

Plain-language summary

This study aims to evaluate the effects of dynamic neuromuscular stabilization exercises on individuals experiencing chronic non-specific low back pain for at least six months. Pain intensity will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) marked on a 10-centimeter line. The impact of low back pain on daily activities will be evaluated through the Oswestry Disability Index, while its influence on quality of life will be determined using the Short Form-36 (SF-36). Postural changes related to low back pain will be assessed using the New York Posture Scale. Lumbar range of motion will be measured using a goniometer.
