Therapeutic Exercise and Education for Low Back Pain

2026년 7월 17일 업데이트: Héctor Hernández Lázaro, University of Valladolid

Therapeutic Exercise and Education for Patients With Non-Specific Low Back Pain in Primary Health Care: A Multicenter Clinical Trial

This study will evaluate a new treatment program for patients with ongoing or long-term low back pain who receive care at primary care physiotherapy units. Participants with subacute or chronic nonspecific low back pain will be randomly divided into three groups for comparison of their progress. The first group will receive an eight-week program of therapeutic exercise and health education, which will be delivered entirely online. The second group will receive the same exercise and education program in face-to-face sessions. The third group will receive standard physiotherapy care. The study will last eight weeks, and researchers will follow up with participants three months later. The project's main goal is to measure changes in participants' daily disability levels. The researchers will also examine other important factors, such as pain intensity, fear of movement, anxiety, depression, quality of life, and overall satisfaction with the care received. Measurements will be taken before the study begins, immediately after the eight-week program ends, and at the three-month follow-up. This trial aims to find more accessible, evidence-based ways to treat back pain, reduce hospital waiting lists, and improve patient well-being by combining digital and in-person care.

Study Protocol and Operational Description

  1. Rationale and Study Justification Despite updated clinical guidelines that prioritize active interventions, such as therapeutic exercise and pain education, these interventions are not widely implemented in primary care settings. The discrepancy between evidence and practice presents a clear opportunity for improvement. Adopting structured programs based on scientific evidence promotes a consistent, efficient approach aligned with the biopsychosocial model. Consequently, this clinical trial aims to generate high-quality evidence in the primary care context to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of these care models. This will facilitate their implementation and advance us toward a more accessible and sustainable healthcare system.
  2. Study Design and Randomization This multicenter, randomized, single-blind, controlled clinical trial has a three-arm parallel group design. After recruitment at the Primary Care Physiotherapy Units (PCPUs) of the Castilla y León Health Service (SACYL) and informed consent is signed, participants with subacute or chronic nonspecific low back pain will be randomly assigned to one of three study groups.

  3. Description of the Intervention Arms All active intervention protocols will be carried out over a period of eight weeks.

    Online Therapeutic Exercise and Education (ETEO): Participants will engage in an eight-week, home-based therapeutic exercise program combined with pain neuroscience education. All content, instructional materials, and compliance monitoring will be delivered via a dedicated digital platform.

    Face-to-Face Therapeutic Exercise and Education (ETEP): Participants will receive the same 8-week exercise and education curriculum through in-person, group sessions at participating PCPUs.

    Conventional Treatment (CT): Participants will receive standard physiotherapy care as routinely provided within the public regional health service framework.

  4. Assessment Timeline and Outcome Measures Blinded evaluators will perform data collection and clinical measurements at three specific time points: baseline (T0), immediately post-intervention at eight weeks (T1), and at the three-month long-term follow-up (T2).

Primary Outcome Measure: Functional disability, quantified using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI).

- Secondary Outcome Measures: Pain intensity, activity avoidance, pain catastrophizing, kinesiophobia, anxiety and depression symptoms, health-related quality of life, patient beliefs/knowledge regarding low back pain, and overall satisfaction with the intervention.

실험적: Online Therapeutic Exercise and Education Group
Participants will carry out an eight-week protocol consisting of education on managing the condition and therapeutic exercises for the lumbopelvic and abdominal muscles. This will be performed progressively. All exercises will be performed at a perceived exertion level of 6-7 out of 10, leaving approximately three repetitions in reserve per exercise. If exertion values are lower, the exercise intensity will increase. If the intensity exceeds 7, the exercise intensity will decrease. Elastic bands and exercise variations will be used to achieve this. Rest periods between sets and exercises will be 1.5 minutes. These sessions will be carried out synchronously online using the Google Meets platform. This allows the physiotherapist to supervise and guide four to six participants per group online.
다른: Therapeutic Exercise

This intervention consists of applying a therapeutic exercise protocol to the lumbopelvic and abdominal muscles. The included exercises are:

  • Core: Isometric Dead Bug, Dead Bug Leg Lowering, Contralateral Dead Bug, Dead Bug with Leg Abduction and Straight Arm Drop, Band-Resisted Dead Bug.
  • Core + Abs: Fire Hydrant, Band-Resisted Fire Hydrant, and Band-Resisted Fire Hydrant on Toes
  • Quadriceps: Chair squat, air squat, asymmetric chair squat, lunge, and chair squat with heel drive.
  • Gluteus exercises include sun salutation, single-leg dead foot drag, deadlift, skater (extension, external rotation, and abduction), standing donkey kick, and single-leg deadlift.

Exercises will be performed at an effort level of 6-7/10 (rate of perceived exertion), leaving three repetitions in reserve per exercise. Participants will perform four to six sets of 15 repetitions for each exercise, with two sessions conducted per week. Rest periods between sets and exercises will be 1.5 minutes.

행동: Education on the self-management of low back pain

Participants will receive four weekly education sessions on self-management of low back pain during the first four weeks of the intervention. The contents of these sessions will be as follows:

  • The multifactorial origin of the condition and the natural course of the disease
  • The consequences of rest and the benefits of movement
  • Ergonomic adaptations applicable to daily, work, and sports activities
  • Interpretation of imaging tests in relation to patient functionality.
실험적: Face-to-Face Therapeutic Exercise and Education Group
This group will receive the same educational protocol for condition management and therapeutic exercise as the previous one, but it will be carried out in a face-to-face group format supervised by a physiotherapist from the Primary Care Physiotherapy Units.
