Abstract: (5 Views)
Background and Aim: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a common musculoskeletal disorder and represents the highest global burden of disease, affecting social support and healthcare systems. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of selected corrective exercises on pain, disability, and Fear-Avoidance Beliefs in patients with nonspecific chronic low back pain. Materials and Methods: The present study was quasi-experimental research with a pre-test-post-test design. The statistical sample consisted of 38 men and women with nonspecific chronic low back pain who were randomly selected. The experimental group performed the selected corrective exercise protocol for 6 weeks. The control group did not participate in any therapeutic or rehabilitation activities during this period and were engaged in their normal daily activities. Before and after the intervention, the following scales were used to measure the research variables: the NRS-11 scale for pain intensity, the Oswestry Disability Questionnaire for functional disability, the Persian version of the Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ) for fear-avoidance beliefs. The research data were analyzed using the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) test at a significance level of P<0.05. Findings: The results of the statistical analysis showed a significant difference in the research variables between the intervention and control groups in the post-test (P<0.05). Conclusion: Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that selected corrective exercises lead to a decrease in pain intensity, an improvement in disability, and an enhancement of Fear-avoidance beliefs in patients with nonspecific chronic low back pain. Therefore, corrective exercises can be used as a simple and accessible protocol for the treatment of patients with chronic low back pain.
