Effects of Global Postural Re-education Versus Laser-guided Supervised Exercise in Individuals With Non-specific Chronic Low Back Pain
The objective of this study will be to investigate the effectiveness of GPR or LGE, in addition to PNE and home exercise program. The primary outcomes will be pain intensity, disability, and fingertip to floor test. The secondary outcomes will be pain catastrophizing, kinesiophobia and depression.
2,373 studies on the registry are indexed under Back Pain; 284 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 36 is below the median of 60 across 1,941 interventional studies indexed under Back Pain.

Exclusion Criteria:
is a physical therapy method developed in France by Philippe-Emmanuel Souchard. This therapy method is founded on an integrated concept of the muscular system, which is composed of muscle chains. These muscle chains are susceptible to shortening as a result of constitutional, behavioral, and psychological factors, Patients allocated to this group will be having a GPR method course of 8 sessions, two sessions per week for a four-week period. Each session will consist of 3 therapeutic postures, lying, sitting, or standing, to be held for 15-20 minutes each. The postures used are considered the most effective in lengthening the posterior chain, which is usually shortened in patients with LBP.
Other: Global Postural Re-education
Patients allocated to this group will be having a LGSE method course of 8 sessions, two sessions per week for a four-week period. Each session will consist of lumbar movement control exercises. The physiotherapist responsible for the intervention corrected each participant individually as required when performing the movement control exercises to ensure the correct technique. The exercises is progress from the supine position through to standing, 4-point kneeling. The program consists of 8 exercises first starting with abdominal-diaphragmatic breathing and isolated contraction of the transversus abdominis contractions of 10 seconds' duration 5 repetition, Abdominal preparation, Pelvic elevation with previous transversus abdominis contraction and neutral pelvis,

Program for treatment
Program for treatment
Pain intensity
assessed using the Numerical Pain Rating Scale which goes from 0 ("no pain at all") to 10 ("worst imaginable pain")
Time frame: One month
Disability
modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability (ODI) questionnaire Each part has six statements rated from 0 (least difficult to accomplish action) to 5 (most difficult) The overall score goes from 0 to 50 (the greatest impairment) In individuals with LBP
Time frame: 7 weeks
Fingertip-to-floor test
excellent metric properties for LBP
Time frame: 7 weeks
Pain catastrophizing
will be used to measure pain catastrophizing. Scores range from 0 (never) to 4 (always) for each item (total score = 0-52). Higher ratings reflect more catastrophizing of pain
Time frame: One month
Kinesiophobia
will be assessed using the 11 items that make up the TSK-11. The overall score is between 11 and 44 points. A higher score indicates a greater fear of discomfort, movement, and harm.
Time frame: One month
Depression
Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), The PHQ-9 is a self-administered 9-item questionnaire with four statements ranging from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day) for each item. A higher total score (20-27) suggests that the patient is suffering from severe depression.
Time frame: 4 weeks
