Chronic low back pain is a common health problem with a multifactorial impact on core muscle function as well as causing pain, functional disability and decrease in quality of life, this occur due to the reduction in the physical activity level of the individual causing atrophy and inhibition of the core muscle affecting the stability of the spine
There are several approaches and methods of treating chronic low back pain (CLBP) ranging from education, exercise, electrotherapy and Manual therapy; to alternative treatment such as acupuncture, yoga and Chiropractic. Among the above mention treatment exercise, manual therapy and education are the most frequently utilize for the management of CLBP. The general recommendation for individual with CLBP is to remain active as possible and this can be achieve through exercise.
Evidence shows that active treatment in form of strengthening exercise of the abdominal and back muscles, core stabilization exercise, coordination exercise and aerobic exercise leads to significant reduction in pain and functional disability in patients with CLBP. A number of researches have been focusing on core stability exercise, which is an effective way of recruiting the core muscle (including the abdominal, back, pelvic and hip muscles) that leads to the optimal force production, control of lumbopelvic-hip movement and load transfer from the spine to the pelvis and the lower extremities. The core stabilization exercise has been establish to activate and strength the deep core muscles, but researches are now focusing on the exercise that can be able to activate the core muscles as well as increase the overall health status of the individual
2,922 studies on the registry are indexed under Low Back Pain; 580 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 40 is below the median of 60 across 2,364 interventional studies indexed under Low Back Pain.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Treadmill walk: i- warm up ( 5 minutes ) II- Main exercise (30 minutes) III- cool down (5 minutes) IV- Standard of care (10minutes)
Behavioral: Warm-up · Behavioral: Main exercise · Behavioral: Cool down · Behavioral: Standard of care
Standard of care (10 minutes)
Behavioral: Standard of care
Participants will walk on treadmill at a speed of 1.7 mile per hour (MPH) and 0 inclination each session for 6weeks 3 times in a week
Participants will walk on a treadmill with a starting speed of 1.7 mile per hour with inclination of 1 to 4% starting with 1% and increased by 1% each week until 4 weeks and at week 5 and 6 speed will be increased to 5mile per hour starting from 1.7mile per hour and increased by 0.5 mile per hour each 1minute while inclination will be increased to 5% in week 5 and 6% in week 6. Main exercise will be perform 3 times in a week for 6 weeks
Participants will walk on treadmill at the speed of 1.7 mile per hour 0 inclination each session for 6 weeks 3 times in a week
Participants will perform Abdominal hollowing, isometric back extension exercise, bridging exercise, graded active flexion, graded active extension by holding for 5seconds and repeated 10times
Numeric pain rating scale
A scale of 0 to 10 with 0 indicating no pain and 10 worst pain will be administered to the participants to choose a number indicating their level of pain this will be recorded at base line and 6 weeks after intervention
Time frame: 5minutes
Electromyograph
Muscle activity of both lumbar multifidus muscle and rectus abdominous muscle will be assess using neurotrac myoplus pro machine and surface electrode. The assessment will be done both at baseline and at 6weeks after intervention
Time frame: 10minutes
Biering-sorensen test
Participant in prone position stabilize at both ankle and hip with the upper trunk out of the plinth will be instructed to extend the trunk and hold position, the more the time the participant is able to hold the position the more the core muscle endurance
Time frame: 3 minutes
Abdominal dynamic test
Participants in supine lying position with the knees flexed to 90 degrees and upper limbs across the chest will be instructed to raised the trunk and neck and hold the position this will be timed using stopwatch. The more the time the participant is able to hold the position the more the core muscle endurance
Time frame: 3 minutes
Flexion rotation test
Participants in supine position the knees flex the participants will be instructed to touch alternate knees for 90 seconds and number of repetition will be recorded. The higher the number of repetition the more the core muscle endurance
Time frame: 3 minutes
Pressure biofeedback stabilizer
Pressure biofeedback stabilizer will be use to assess the strength of rectus abdominous and Lumbar multifidus muscle strength, the pressure biofeedback stabilizer is a simple device that sense changes in pressure with movement, the pressure cell measures from 0-200millimeter of mercury (mmHg), with a precision of 2 millimeter of mercury with 0 being the lowest score and 200 the highest score. To measure any of the core muscle strength the pressure biofeedback stabilizer will be inflated to 70 millimeter of mercury and will be placed underneath the muscle of the participant and instruction will be giving to the participant to contract the muscle by pressing the inflator down, the reading on the sphygmomanometer will then be recorded.
Time frame: 4 minutes
Oswestry disability index
This questionnaire will be administered to the participant both English and hausa version will be use pending on the preference of the participant will be ask to fill so as to know their level of functional disability at baseline and 6 weeks after administration. The questionnaire is scored from 0 indicating no disability and 100 maximum disability
Time frame: 10 minutes
Short form health survey questionnaire
Short form health survey questionnaire will be administered to the participants the English or Hausa version pending on the participant preference and their quality of life will be assessed both at baseline and 6weeks intervention. The questionnaire will be scored from 0 to 100, with 0 indicating poor quality of life and 100 highest score in terms of quality of life
Time frame: 10 minutes

Started Aug 2021 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Oct 2022, 13 months after the start.
Of 1,231 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Low Back Pain, half reached primary completion within 11 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 26. This study's planned 13 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 1,286 studies reached it within 11 months; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 27.
