Effect of Video-based Stabilization Exercises on Pain, Function, Adherence, Kinesiophobia & QoL in NSCBP Patients

This study investigates the effectiveness of a 6-week home-based core stabilization exercise program in individuals with non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP). The purpose is to compare two different delivery methods of the same exercise protocol: video-based versus illustrated brochure-based instructions. Stabilization exercises are commonly used in NSCLBP management; however, the mode of delivery in home settings can impact adherence and clinical outcomes. A total of 42 participants with NSCLBP will be randomly assigned to either the video-based group or the brochure-based group. Both groups will follow the same exercise content, frequency, and duration. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline and after 6 weeks using standardized tools for pain (Visual Analog Scale), functional status ( Oswestry Disability Index), exercise adherence (Exercise Adherence Rating Scale), kinesiophobia (Tampa Scale), and quality of life (SF-36). The findings will be contribute to the optimization of home exercise strategies for chronic low back pain management.
