Conventional Exercises Plan With or Without Laser Guided Feedback for Patients With Non-Specific Low Back Pain

May 20, 2024 updated by: Muhammad Naveed Babur, Superior University
Low back pain (LBP) is a significant health issue. It impacts a significant portion of the adult population, reaching up to 80%, and results in substantial healthcare and socioeconomic expenses. To find out what changes occurred after the application of two exercise modalities [Conventional Exercise (CE) and Laser-Guided Exercise (LGE)} and PNE on pain, pain pressure thresholds, disability, catastrophizing, kinesiophobia, and lumbar proprioception in subjects with NSCLBP.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or cold laser therapy
uses low-level lasers or light-emitting diodes to stimulate cellular function and improve healing. Physiotherapy, sports medicine, and rehabilitation use it as a non-invasive, painless complement or adjuvant therapy
Diagnostic test: Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or cold laser therapy
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or cold laser therapy

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NRS)
Time Frame: 12 Months
it is a simple and widely used tool for measuring pain intensity. It consists of a horizontal line with 11 numbered points, ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable). Patients are asked to rate their pain by selecting the number that best describes their current pain intensity
12 Months
The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)
Time Frame: 12 months
it is a patient-completed questionnaire used to measure the level of disability caused by low back pain. It is a widely used and validated tool in both research and clinical settings. Studies show high test-retest reliability of 0.90
12 months
