Brief summary (from the registry)
Chronic mechanical low back pain (CMLBP) is a prevalent musculoskeletal condition characterized by persistent pain originating from the spine, muscles, ligaments, or intervertebral discs. It is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. (CMLBP) have significantly affected the individual's physical, emotional, and social well-being, as well as their overall quality of life, functional capacity, and productivity of individuals. Unlike acute low back pain, which typically resolves within a few weeks, CMLBP persists for more than three months and often fluctuates in intensity, leading to recurrent episodes of pain and discomfort \[1\]. Chronic mechanical low back pain (LBP) has been the subject of extensive research, with numerous studies highlighting its multifactorial nature and varied treatment outcomes. Previous research has established that chronic mechanical LBP often results from prolonged strain on the lumbar spine due to poor posture, repetitive stress, or underlying musculoskeletal imbalances. Studies have consistently shown that interventions such as physical therapy, which includes strengthening exercises and ergonomic adjustments, can be effective in alleviating symptoms and improving functional outcomes. However, evidence also suggests that the efficacy of these treatments can be limited by factors such as patient adherence and the presence of psychological components like anxiety and depression. Furthermore, recent research emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach that integrates both physical and psychological therapies to address the complex nature of chronic mechanical LBP more comprehensively \[2\]. Aerobic exercise involves activities that increase the heart rate and improve cardiovascular endurance. The rationale for using aerobic exercise in the management of CMLBP is based on several physiological mechanisms. Firstly, aerobic exercise enhances blood ow and nutrient delivery to the spine and surrounding musculature, which c…
