About this trial

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the effectiveness of lumbar stabilization exercises and muscular chain therapy on reducing pain intensity and functional disability in patients with mechanical CLBP.

* Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups: * Group A: Lumbar stabilization exercises * Group B: Muscular chain therapy (posterior sagittal muscle chain)

Outcomes will be assessed at baseline and on week 6 to evaluate which exercise program is more effective in reducing pain and improving functional outcomes.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients aged between 18-30 years will be included in the study.

Participants must have a history of mechanical CLBP.

The pain must be localized to the lumbar region.

Participants must be able to perform physical activities and participate in exercise-based interventions.

Disqualifiers

Patient with structural lesions, such as spondylolisthesis, stenosis, vertebral bone fracture, scoliosis and kyphosis on x-ray, will be excluded.

Pregnant females would be excluded.

Females with a history of neurological, infections, and systemic disease, including cerebrovascular disease, spondylitis, cancer, spinal cord disease, cauda equine, rheumatologic disorders.

Females who have undergone spinal surgery or any surgical intervention related to the lower back or pelvis will be excluded.

Treatments tested in this trial

Lumbar Stabilization Exercises
Other intervention
Participants will receive lumbar stabilization exercises (Abdominal drawing-in maneuver, Pelvic tilts, Bridging exercise), Repetitions: 10-15 reps per exercise- Sets: 2-3 sets per exercise, Rest Between Sets: 30-45 seconds.
Muscular Chain Therapy
Other intervention
1. Straightening the lumbar spine while maintaining hip neutrality and preventing knee flexion. 2. Hip flexion while avoiding lumbar flexion. Static holds: 3-5 repetitions per posture, Hold Duration: 2-3 minutes initially, progressing to 5 minutes ,Rest Interval: 1-2 minutes between repetitions
