Brief summary (from the registry)
This study will investigate the effect of adding Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) to a standard lumbar stabilization exercise program on disability and kinesiophobia among patients with chronic low back pain in the Gaza Strip. Participants will be randomly assigned into two groups: Control group - will receive lumbar stabilization exercises only. Experimental group - will receive lumbar stabilization exercises in addition to PNE delivered once weekly for 8 sessions. Both groups will undergo an 8-week intervention, and outcome measures will be collected at baseline, post-intervention (8 weeks), and at a follow-up assessment (16 weeks) to evaluate the persistence of treatment effects. It is expected that the experimental group will show greater improvements in disability and kinesiophobia compared with the control group, indicating that integrating PNE with stabilization exercises may provide enhanced and sustained benefits for patients with chronic low back pain.
