“…In particular, the effects on the following outcomes were compared: pain [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 22 , 23 , 24 ], disability [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 25 , 26 ], quality of life [ 21 , 25 ], muscle thickness [ 20 , 21 , 26 , 27 , 28 ], and muscle strength [ 22 , 24 , 25 ].…”

“…In three articles, the reduction of pain was statistically greater in the core stability group, compared with minimal or no intervention [ 20 , 21 , 24 ]. In four articles, core stability was more effective in reducing disability [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 26 ].…”

“…In all studies, core stability was more effective in improving quality of life [ 21 , 25 ], muscular thickness (in particular transversus abdominus, multifidus, obliquus abdominis, and gluteus maximus) [ 20 , 21 , 26 , 27 , 28 ], and lumbar muscular strength [ 22 , 24 , 25 ].…”

“…Core stability increases contracted thickness and activity of gluteus maximus [ 18 , 26 ], which plays an important role in stabilizing the pelvis and is involved in patients with LBP [ 62 ]. Performing lumbar stabilization exercises with specific exercises for the gluteus muscle is more effective to increase the lumbar low back pain disability index, isometric muscle strength of lumbar flexion and extension, and stability [ 63 ].…”

(1) Background: Management of chronic low back pain (cLBP) is often multidisciplinary, involving a combination of treatments, including therapeutic exercises. Core stability exercises aim to improve pain and disability in cLBP increasing spinal stability, neuromuscular control, and preventing shear force that causes injury to the lumbar spine. The purpose of this study was to review the available evidence about the effectiveness in reducing pain and improving disability of core stability exercises for non-specific cLBP. (2) Methods: We perform a systematic research on common Medline databases: PubMed, Pedro, and Cochrane Library. Search results were limited to articles written in English and published between January 2005 and November 2020.The search provided a total of 420 articles. Forty-nine articles met the inclusion criteria and 371 articles were excluded. (3) Results: Core stability provides great therapeutic effects in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain reducing pain intensity, functional disability, and improving quality of life, core muscle activation, and thickness. Evidences suggest that core stability is more effective than rest or no/minimal intervention and combination with other types of exercise for cLBP have shown grater efficacy. (4) Conclusion: Core stability could be proposed in a comprehensive approach in cLBP, the combination with other modalities of therapeutic exercise should be promoted. Patient compliance is crucial to determine the efficacy of the intervention.

Background Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a highly prevalent musculoskeletal condition affecting 60–80% of the general population within their lifetime. Given the large numbers of people affected, self-management approaches have been introduced as a way to manage this condition with endorsement by the national institute for health and care excellence. Interventions are often termed self-management without defining either content or goals. Our study sought to determine the content, characteristics, and evidence for self-management of CLBP. Methods This narrative review was conducted using a systematic approach to search journal articles in English that focused on CLBP self-management. MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and PsycINFO databases were used to identify publications with terms relating to back pain and self-management from January 2016 until January 2022. Results In total, 15 studies were found suitable for inclusion in the review. Core components of self-management strategies include exercise, education, and psychological interventions, but there was a lack of consistency with respect to content. Intervention characteristics were either under-reported or varied. Furthermore, outcome measures used to assess these self-management programmes were diverse, mainly focusing on functional disability and pain intensity. Conclusions Inconsistencies in the content of self-management interventions, intervention characteristics, and outcome measures used for assessing self-management programmes were found across the literature. Current self-management approaches do not consider the complex biopsychosocial nature of CLBP. A consensus on the key components of self-management interventions, and how they should be evaluated, will pave the way for research to determine whether self-management can effectively manage CLBP.
