TRIAL DESCRIPTION
Public title EFFECT OF TELEREHABILITATION-BASED CORE-STABILITY EXERCISE ON PAIN-RELATED DISABILITY, PAIN SELF-EFFICACY AND PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS IN PATIENTS WITH NON-SPECIFIC CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN.
Official scientific title EFFECT OF TELEREHABILITATION-BASED CORE-STABILITY EXERCISE ON PAIN-RELATED DISABILITY, PAIN SELF-EFFICACY AND PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS IN PATIENTS WITH NON-SPECIFIC CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN.
Brief summary describing the background and objectives of the trial Telerehabilitation has been used to improve on health care in recent times. However, not so much is known on the effects of telerehabilitation incorporating core-stability exercise in the management of pain-related disability, pain-self efficacy and psychological factors of patients with non-specific chronic low back pain. This study is aimed to determine and compare the efficacy of telerehabilitation-based core-stability exercise (TCSE) and clinical-based core stability exercise (CCSE) in the management of pain-related disability, pain-self efficacy and psychological factors (depression, anxiety and stress) in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain.
