It affects individuals across different age groups and is typically characterized by pain, stiffness, and functional limitations that reduce physical activity and overall quality of life. Among established clinical approaches, Core exercises are frequently used in the management of LBP, reducing pain and improving functionality by stabilizing the spine. However, despite their widespread use, there is limited evidence on the effectiveness of combining core exercises with cognitive interventions, such as action observation.\n\nMotor imagery (MI) and action observation (AO) offer practical, low-cost approaches that can be easily integrated into rehabilitation programs. Motor imagery involves the individual visualizing the physical movement in their mind without performing it, while action observation involves learning specific movements by observing them. These techniques can strengthen the effectiveness of physical exercises by increasing neuromuscular activation. However, it has been reported that motor imagery-based cortical processes facilitate the reorganization of sensory-motor functions during daily activities in LBP patients. Studies in this area are quite limited. The effectiveness of action observation therapy, which is primarily effective in neurological conditions, has not been investigated in non-specific low back pain. Therefore, in this study, the effects of combining action observation therapy with a core exercise program, Pain, Function, Endurance, Kinesiophobia, and Sleep Quality in patients with non-specific low back pain will be examined.\n\nThe study aims to investigate the effects of combining action observation therapy with core exercises compared with core exercises alone in patients with NSLBP. Patients attending Fizyowell physiotherapy and Healthy Services clinic who meet the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. This study seeks to explore the potential benefits of integrating cognitive techniques into a conventional exercise-based rehabilitation for NSLBP.\n\nTo establish participant eligibility before the study begins, a standardized demographic data form will be collected from all subjects who volunteered to participate in the study, including gender, age, height, weight, education, marital status, chronic diseases and medication use, smoking, and alcohol use. In addition, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) will be used to assess the patient's mental state, determine the ability to understand and follow instructions, and identify cognitive disorders that may make it difficult to perform mental interventions. The Movement Imagery Questionnaire-3 (MIQ-3) will be used to determine each participant's motor imagery ability. Once eligibility is confirmed, baseline assessments will be conducted, including pain intensity measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), functional disability assessed using the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Index Questionnaire, kinesiophobia evaluated with the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK), core endurance tested through standardized endurance measures, and sleep quality assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).\n\nAfter the initial evaluation, the treatment program will be started.

While exercise therapy is the recommended treatment, many students cannot access traditional physiotherapy due to cost, scheduling conflicts, and location barriers.\n\nThis randomized controlled trial compares three treatment approaches: (1) AI-enhanced telerehabilitation with automated video analysis and personalized feedback, (2) standard telerehabilitation with video instructions only, and (3) usual care. The AI system uses computer vision technology (Google MediaPipe Pose) to analyze exercise videos through a standard webcam or smartphone, automatically tracking joint movements, counting repetitions, and providing real-time feedback on exercise form.\n\nCollege students with chronic low back pain (lasting more than 3 months) will be randomly assigned to one of the three groups. The AI-enhanced group will receive personalized exercise programs delivered remotely, with the AI system monitoring their performance and physiotherapists providing guidance through video consultations.\n\nThe study will measure changes in pain levels, disability, physical function, trunk muscle endurance, and quality of life over 8 weeks of treatment and 3 months of follow-up. Researchers will also evaluate how well participants stick to their exercise programs and how easy the technology is to use.\n\nThis research aims to determine if AI technology can make remote physiotherapy more effective and accessible for college students, potentially transforming how young adults receive treatment for back pain and improving their long-term health outcomes.",[116],[249,250,251,252],"back pain","exercise","young adults","artificial intelligence","2025-09-25",{"date":255,"type":36},"2025-09-30",{"date":257,"type":21},"2025-10-01",{"date":259,"type":21},"2026-09-01",{"name":261,"class":43},"Majmaah University",{"id":263,"slug":264,"hasResults":11,"nctId":265,"briefTitle":266,"officialTitle":266,"acronym":267,"eligibilityCriteria":268,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":16,"minAge":109,"maxAge":269,"enrollmentInfo":270,"targetDuration":271,"studyType":272,"phases":4,"briefSummary":273,"conditions":274,"keywords":275,"overallStatus":124,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":280,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":281,"startDateStruct":283,"completionDateStruct":285,"leadSponsor":287,"locationsCount":4},"100600613","correlation-between-the-flexibility-of-hip-muscles-pain-and-disability-in-chronic-nonspecific-low-back-pain-100600613","NCT07099768","Correlation Between the Flexibility of Hip Muscles, Pain and Disability in Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain","NSLBP","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Chronic nonspecific low back pain for at least 3 months.\n* Age of the patient will range from 20 and 45 years.\n* Pain intensity of three or higher based on the visual analogue scale (VAS, 0-10 scale).\n* .Body Mass Index from 18-25 kg\u002Fm2.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* spinal surgery, spinal or pelvic fracture.\n* ankylosing spondylitis or rheumatoid arthritis.\n* spondylolisthesis or spondylolysis, neurological disorders.\n* spinal inflammation or tumor. osteoporosis.\n* Continuous use of pain medications.\n* respiratory disease or heart disease.\n* Pregnancy.","45 Years",{"count":80,"type":21},"1 Day","OBSERVATIONAL","This study will be conducted to investigate the correlation between the flexibility of hip muscles;
