“… 4 More so, it has been asserted that the risk of low back pain is twice as high once a history of the condition have been established. 5 Despite this, the most appropriate intervention to LBP remains elusive. 6 The causes of LBP are complex and not clearly understood; although some risk factors are implicated.…”

Exercise has been proven to be effective in the management of chronic low back pain. Over the years, core stability exercise (CSE) has gained popularity however there is lack of consensus on the best exercise treatment. Aims: To review the effectiveness of core stability exercises or conventional exercises in the management of chronic low back pain (CLBP). Methods: This study is a systematic review of randomized clinical trials which examined studies regarding core stability and conventional exercise by using Google scholar, Medline, PEDro and Cochrane from 2010 to 2021. The Methodological quality was evaluated using the PEDro scale. The included studies randomized participants into two different exercise groups. Results: From the 58 potentially relevant trials, a total of 14 trials were included in the current analysis. The data indicated that core stability exercise was better than conventional exercise for short term pain relief. Ten studies included self reported back specific functional status, and compared to conventional exercise, core stability exercise resulted in significant improvement in function. Conclusion: Compared to conventional exercise, core stability exercise is more effective in pain reduction and improved physical function in individuals with CLBP in the short term however, only two trials carried out follow-up assessments post intervention. Keywords: Core stability exercise; conventional exercise; chronic low back pain.

Background: Mechanical neck pain is one of the common musculoskeletal disorders. Muscle energy technique (MET) may be a useful intervention for treating such disorder. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the effect of MET with passive stretching on pain and functional disability in people with mechanical neck pain. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was undertaken. Sixty patients with mechanical neck pain were randomly allocated to either the MET group or control group. The former group received MET, and the latter group received static stretching. Both groups received conventional therapy. Treatment was given once a day for 6 days. A visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to measure the intensity of pain, and functional disability was assessed using the neck disability index (NDI) was immediately before treatment and again on the 6 th day. Results: VAS and NDI scores showed a significant improvement in both MET and stretching groups on the 6 th day postintervention ( p < 0.05). However, both VAS and NDI scores showed better improvement in the MET group as compared to the stretching group ( p < 0.025). Conclusion: Muscle energy technique was better than stretching technique in improving pain and functional disability in people with mechanical neck pain.

Background: Muscle energy technique (MET) and strain–counterstrain (SCS) technique are found to be effective as a sole treatment of acute low back pain (LBP), but the combined effect of these two techniques has not been evaluated. Objective: The purpose of this randomized clinical trial was to evaluate the added effect of SCS to MET in acute LBP patients. Methods: In this trial, 50 patients were randomly allocated to MET or MET-SCS group to receive the assigned two treatment sessions for two consecutive days. Oswestry disability index (ODI) and Roland Morris disability questionnaire (RMDQ), visual analogue scale (VAS), lumbar range of motion (ROM) were recorded at baseline, after first and second session. Results: All the outcome measures showed statistically significant ([Formula: see text]) improvement in both the groups after second session. Between the groups, analysis showed no statistically significant difference ([Formula: see text]) after the first or second session. Conclusions: The improvement after second treatment sessions was noted in pain, ROM, and disability in both the groups, but immediate effect was seen only on pain intensity after first treatment session. When compared between the groups, no added effect of SCS to MET was found in reducing pain and disability and increasing lumbar ROM in acute LBP patients.
