Functional Exercises for Chronic Low Back Pain
Effectiveness of the Functional Exercises in Young Adults Chronic Low Back Pain: a Randomized Controlled Trial
Non-specific low back pain is a common condition. Exercise is effective treatment for chronic low back pain. We hypothesized the functional exercise group will present pain reduction and functional improvement.
The purpose of this study is investigated the effectiveness of an functional exercise program for people with nonspecific chronic low back pain. Patients will be randomly divided into 2 groups: control group (minimal intervention - mini back school and analgesic) and group will receive a functional exercise protocol associated with minimal intervention.

Analgesic use when necessary and a single back scholl class
|
Experimental: Functional exercise
|
Functional exercise protocol.
This protocol started with corporal conscience exercise, breathing, abdominal activation, activities such as sitting, getting up, climbing stairs, reaching with arms, moving forward, bodyweight exercises, bridges and boards.
This protocol will be performed during 12 weeks, two sessions per week.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Low back of pain intensity measured with Numeric Pain Rating Scale
Time Frame: Baseline, 6, 12 and 24 weeks
|
It will be measured by the Brazilian version of the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) 11 points.
The NPRS goes from 0 to 10, where 0 is "no pain" and 10 is "the worst pain imaginable."
Participants will be asked to answer about their pain levels based on the last seven days.
Change in pain score or an improvement of 2 levels or more is accepted as clinically relevant.
