Brief summary (from the registry)
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is defined as low back pain lasting longer than three months. CLBP is one of the most common and expensive diseases in terms of both labour loss and treatment costs, and it is very important to treat it with conventional (non-surgical) treatment methods. Clinical guidelines recommend active treatments that address psychosocial factors and focus on functional improvement. Within this approach, low back protection training, called low back school, is recognised as an effective and economical method. This study was planned to investigate the effectiveness of lumbar school training or core stabilisation exercises on pain, mobilisation and quality of life in patients with chronic low back pain. In this research, patients coming to Seydişehir State Hospital physiotherapy unit will be included in the study. Patients will be taken in Seydişehir Vocational School of Health Services Vocational School vocational skills laboratory and Seydişehir State Hospital physiotherapy unit. As a result of the power analysis, 64 patients are planned to be included. Simple randomisation will be used. Sealed opaque envelopes will be prepared by the research team. Opaque envelopes will be determined as 24 (core exercise group) and 24 (B) (lumbar school), 24 C kontrol. The pain intensity of the patients will be determined by the Visual Analogue Scale, which is a self-report scale, and the functional disability levels will be determined by the Oswestry Disability Index and the quality of life levels will be determined by the World Health Organization Quality of Life Module (WHOQOL-BREF) and spinal mobility will be determined by measuring the hand-finger ground distance. Patients will be divided into two groups as core exercise group and lumbar school training group and will be evaluated before and after treatment and training.
