Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the HIIT with MICT in chronic non-specific low back pain patients. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- The broad aim of the study is to compare HIIT with MICT in pain reduction in chronic non-specific low back pain patients.
- The purpose of this research is to compare HIIT with MICT on disability and quality of life among chronic non-specific low back pain patients.
- It also attempts to investigate the relationship between the baseline attributes and outcome variables.
Researcher will compare the HIIT to MICT to see the effects on CNSLBP
Participants will be:
- Allocated to HIIT or MICT group for 6 weeks.
- Assessed pre and post intervention.
- Continuously monitored during treatment sessions.
