Introduction: Chronic low back pain (LBP) is characterized by daily lower back pain lasting more than three consecutive months. It may lead to functional disability and can be treated by several physical therapy techniques, including therapeutic exercise. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of pilates and classical kinesiotherapy on the treatment of pain and functional disability in patients with chronic low back pain. Materials and methods: The study sample consisted of five patients with a diagnosis of chronic low back pain and a mean age of 32.4 ± 15.6 years. A Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used for pain assessment, and the Oswestry Disability Index was used to assess functional disability at the beginning and at the end of the intervention. Patients were divided into two groups and received 20 individual sessions of therapeutic exercise at a frequency of two sessions per week. Group A was treated with classical kinesiotherapy and group B was treated with pilates exercises. Statistical analysis was performed using Wilcoxon's test. The significance level was set at 5%. Results: There was a significant reduction in pain (p = 043) and functional disability (p = 042) in both groups. We found no significant differences between the effects of pilates and classical kinesiotherapy on pain and functional disability. Conclusions: We conclude that, in the population

Therapeutic options include pharmacologic agents like nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, antidepressants, gabapentin and pregabalin, physical therapy (PT) modalities like therapeutic ultrasound (US), transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), lowlevel laser (LLL), short-wave diathermy and traction, interventional therapies like epidural steroid and facet joint injections, therapeutic exercise, and surgery (4).…”

Materials and methods PatientsSeventy patients who had applied to the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Education and Research Hospital with LBP were evaluated. Patients who were 25-75 years old and who had LBP for at least 3 months were included. The exclusion criteria were: patients with certain surgical indications (motor, sensory, or reflex impairment), history of epilepsy, pregnancy, cardiac failure, respiratory failure, Background/aim: The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the effect of different physical therapy (PT) session numbers on pain, impairment. and quality of life in patients with chronic low back pain (LBP). Materials and methods:In this prospective, randomized-controlled, single-blind trial, a total of 60 patients with chronic LBP were divided into 2 groups with simple randomization within the scope of the study. A PT program of a total of 10 sessions was applied for patients in Group 10 (n = 30) and a total of 15 sessions for patients in Group 15 (n = 30). The main outcome measures were fingertip-tofloor distance (FFD), a visual analog scale (VAS), the modified Oswestry Disability Index (mODI), and the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP). Results:We found statistically significant differences in both groups between the before-treatment (BT) and after-treatment (AT) results in terms of all evaluation parameters. We detected significant differences between the 2 groups in terms of AT VAS, mODI, NHP Pain, and NHP Total; however, no significant differences were found in terms of FFD and the other NHP subdimension levels. Conclusion:We determined that 15 treatment sessions were more effective than 10 sessions on pain and disability in patients with chronic LBP.

“…Due to that, the intercession to treat nonspecific constant low back pain (NSCLBP) stays tricky [12]. It is prescribed for patients with (NSCLBP) to remain physically dynamic, as long stretches of idleness will antagonistically influence recuperation [13,14]. An assortment of various sorts of activity has been investigated to treat CLBP, including low-to-direct force vigorous exercise [15,16], high-power oxygen consuming activity [17,18], centre adjustment and solid quality activities [19][20][21][22][23][24] and flexibility programs [25,26,27].…”
