Among the 118 studies in Low Back Pain by Riphah International University, from their registry updates:
The aim of this study is to determine the combine effects of core stabilization exercises and Myofascial Induction therapy on lumber pain, core endurance and quality of life on postpartum low-back pain.
A randomized controlled trial will be conducted at Bashir Hospital and Fatima Hospital, Sialkot recruiting 40 female patients (aged between 20-45 years) with postpartum low back pain. Participants will be randomly assigned into two groups using a non-probability convenience sampling technique. The Experimental group A will receive myofascial induction therapy along with core stabilization exercises thrice a week for a total of 8 weeks, and the Control group B will receive only core stabilization exercises three times a week for a total of 8 weeks. Both groups will also receive baseline treatment that includes a hot pack and TENS for 15 minutes. Outcome measures include lumbar pain, core endurance and quality of life will be measured by using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Supine Bridge test and the Short Form health survey (SF-36) and. Data will be analyzed by SPSS version 21. Outcome measures will be assessed pre-test and post-test.

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.

Core stabilization exercises include bird-dog, side bridges, Curl ups and supine extension bridge. The Myofascial Induction therapy techniques related to the lumbopelvic region contain stroke application, deep induction application, cross-hands induction of the lumbar spine, and hip-flexor region induction.

Total 5 sets will perform and each set contain 10 repetitions with rest period of 10 sec between each set. Three sessions will be given per week for a total of 8 weeks and each session will be of 30- 45 mins
All of the MIT techniques, will applied to the patients for a total of 40 min in a session, three time per week for eight weeks
Numeric Pain rating Scale (NPRS)
The NPRS is a commonly used, valid, flexible, and reliable outcome measure of pain. It consists of an 11-point rating system that takes a number between 0 and 10, where 0 means "no pain" and 10 means "worst imaginable pain." Patients are asked to select the value from scale that best represents their degree of pain.
Time frame: 8th week
Short Form Health survey (SF-36)
Short Form Health survey (SF-36) is a self-reported health outcome measuring tool. There are 36 questions total, covering eight different health domains.
Time frame: 8th week
Spine Bridge test (SUBT)
The supine bridge test is the most frequently recommended test for evaluating the core muscles. Starting with a supine posture, each participant placed their feet on a bed near to but without touching one another. and both knees flexed 90 degrees. Next to the torso were the arms. With the shoulders, hips, and knees all in a straight alignment, the individual raised their pelvis off the bed. The test posture was maintained until it was no longer possible due to discomfort. If the participant completed two minutes in the test posture, one support point was removed and the dominant limb was extended in air.
Time frame: 8th week

Started Oct 2025 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Oct 2026, 12 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 12 months is close to that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 1,286 studies reached it within 11 months; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 27.
