About this trial

This study sought to determine the effect of Pilates exercises versus segmental control exercises on spinopelvic angles, pain intensity, and functional disability in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Time frame
6 weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

Pain intensity

Pain intensity by using a Visual analogue scale (VAS). (Begum, and Hossain 2019)

Time frame
6 weeks
2
