Overview

This study is designed to evaluate the effect of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) exercises combined with core strengthening exercises in young adults. Dynamic exercsises train motor control and restore natural movement patterns. Participants in experimental group will perform DNS exercise with core strengthening exercises while participants in control group will perform core strengthening exercises alone.

Description

This study is aimed to evaluate the effect of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) exercises combined with core strengthening exercises in young adults aged 18-25. The prevalence of non-specific low back pain has increased among undergraduate students due to prolonged daily sitting, which leads to decreased flexibility and core muscle endurance. Factors such as individual psychological, anatomical, biomechanical structure, weak strength and endurance of trunk, and decreased flexibility in trunk musculature contribute to non-specific low backache Based on infantile motor patterns, DNS exercises emphasize natural movement patterns to enhance core stability, improve postural control, and reduce pain during both dynamic and static tasks. In this program, participants will learn how to activate deep core muscles and maintain intra-abdominal pressure to train natural movement patterns and improve function. Participants will perform these exercises three times a week for a duration of four weeks.

Various studies in literature including randomized controlled trials reported that DNS along other conventional physiotherapy exercises can reduce pain, disability, quality of life, flexibility of hamstring, balance, abdominal muscle strength in patients with non-specific low backache.

Therefore this study is aimed to see effect of dynamic neuromuscular stabilizaion exercises compared to conservative traetment on pain, endurance and flexibility, which are contributing factors to non-specific low back pain (NSLBP).

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
