Effect of Functional Lumbar Stabilization Exercises on Pain, Disability and Kinesiophobia in Women With Menstrual Low Back Pain

Menstrual low back pain (LBP) is one of the common complaints among women. Menstrual LBP may be attributed to the spinal instability resulting from ligament laxity due to hormonal change. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of functional lumbar stabilization exercises on pain, disability and kinesiophobia in women with menstrual LBP.
