Pelvic Floor Exercises Versus Swiss Ball Exercises in Patients With Non-Specific Chronic Low Back Pain

21. maj 2026 opdateret af: Rubina Khalil, University of Lahore

Comparative Effects of Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercises and Swiss Ball Exercises in Patients With Non-Specific Chronic Low Back Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle exercises and swiss ball exercises in females with non-specific chronic low back pain. The study evaluates pain intensity, disability, lumbar range of motion, and core muscle endurance following different rehabilitation protocols.

Detaljeret beskrivelse

Non-specific chronic low back pain is a common musculoskeletal disorder associated with pain, restricted lumbar mobility, and reduced functional capacity. Weakness of core stabilizing muscles contributes significantly to spinal instability and persistent symptoms.

Exercise-based physiotherapy interventions including pelvic floor muscle exercises and swiss ball exercises are commonly used to improve core stability, lumbar mobility, muscle endurance, and pain management.

This randomized controlled trial will compare the effects of:

Baseline physiotherapy alone Baseline physiotherapy combined with swiss ball exercises Baseline physiotherapy combined with pelvic floor muscle exercises

A total of 69 participants will be randomly allocated into three parallel groups. Outcome measures including pain, disability, lumbar range of motion, and muscle endurance will be assessed before and after intervention.

Våben og indgreb

Deltagergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandling
Aktiv komparator: Control Group (Baseline Physiotherapy)
Participants will receive baseline physiotherapy treatment including heating pad application, stretching exercises, and strengthening exercises.
Andet: Baseline Physiotherapy
Baseline physiotherapy includes heating pad application, stretching exercises, and strengthening exercises for lumbar stabilization and pain reduction.
Eksperimentel: Experimental Group (Swiss Ball Exercises + Baseline Physiotherapy)
Participants will receive baseline physiotherapy combined with swiss ball exercises including curl-up, bridging, and front plank exercises.
Andet: Baseline Physiotherapy
Baseline physiotherapy includes heating pad application, stretching exercises, and strengthening exercises for lumbar stabilization and pain reduction.
Andet: Swiss Ball Exercises
Swiss ball exercises include curl-up, bridging, and front plank exercises performed on a swiss ball to improve core stability, balance, and muscle endurance.
Eksperimentel: Experimental Group (Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercises + Baseline Physiotherapy)
Participants will receive baseline physiotherapy combined with pelvic floor muscle exercises for core stabilization and pain reduction.
Andet: Baseline Physiotherapy
Baseline physiotherapy includes heating pad application, stretching exercises, and strengthening exercises for lumbar stabilization and pain reduction.
Andet: Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercises
Pelvic floor muscle exercises involve repeated contraction and relaxation cycles of pelvic floor muscles to improve core muscle activation, spinal support, and lumbar stability.
