Effects of Two Exercise Programs (Pilates and Multicomponent) Combined With Photobiomodulation Therapy on Pain Intensity, Postural Balance, Perceived Disability, Kinesiophobia, and Pain-related Fear of Movement in Patients With Chronic Non-specific Low Back Pain (CNLBP): a Randomized, Placebo-controlled Clinical Trial.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Pilates training + active PBMT, Pilates training + sham PBMT, and 2 other interventions for Exercise Training and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 80 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The present project aims to examine the effects of different exercise programs (Pilates and multicomponent) combined with photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) on pain intensity, postural balance, perceived disability, kinesiophobia, and pain-related fear of movement in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain (CNLBP). It was hypothesized that the exercise programs plus active PBMT would outperform the exercise program alone (sham PBMT) in improving postural balance, and decreasing pain intensity, perceived disability, kinesiophobia, and pain-related fear of movement in patients with CNLBP.
