Non-specific Low Back Pain
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Non-specific Low Back Pain focused on measuring NSLBP
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Participants will be included if they have a history of LBP for more than 6 weeks before the study, or experienced at least 3 episodes of LBP each lasting more than one week, during the year before the study. Exclusion Criteria: Participants will be excluded if they have: LBP as a result of a specific spinal condition (e.g. spondylolisthesis, or spinal stenosis). Previous abdominal or spinal surgery. Serious spinal conditions (e.g., vertebral fracture, tumor or infection). Severe musculoskeletal deformity (scoliosis or kyphosis). Inflammatory disorders (e.g. Rheumatoid arthritis).
