Occupational low back pain is a prevalent cause of functional disability. This randomized clinical trial aims to compare the effects of the Pilates Method and conventional kinesiotherapy on functional disability (Oswestry Index) and health self-perception in workers with occupational low back pain.
The study enrolled 18 workers diagnosed with occupational low back pain. Participants were randomly assigned to one of two intervention groups: the Pilates Method or conventional kinesiotherapy. Clinical and functional evaluations were performed at baseline and post-intervention to assess the therapeutic outcomes.

Participants underwent a rehabilitation protocol based on the Pilates Method.
Other: Pilates Method
Participants underwent a conventional kinesiotherapy exercise protocol.
Other: Conventional Kinesiotherapy
A rehabilitation program utilizing the Pilates Method principles focusing on core stability, flexibility, and muscle strengthening.
A standard physical therapy program involving stretching and strengthening exercises commonly used in clinical practice.
Functional Disability
Functional disability was assessed using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) questionnaire. The total score ranges from 0 to 100%, with higher scores indicating a worse outcome (greater level of disability).
Time frame: Baseline, 5 weeks, and 6 weeks
Health Self-Perception
Health self-perception was assessed using a 5-point Likert scale asking participants to rate their physical and emotional health over the last month. The score for each question ranges from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating a worse outcome (1 = Very good; 2 = Good; 3 = Moderate; 4 = Bad; 5 = Very bad).
Time frame: Baseline, 5 weeks, and 6 weeks

Ran from Mar 2023 to primary completion in Aug 2023, 5 months.
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 4 and three quarters within 26. This study's 5 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 1,286 studies reached it within 11 months; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 27.
