Study Comparing Two Types of Digital Training and Daily Activity for Adults With Low Back Pain Using Clinical and MRI Assessments

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to evaluate two different types of digital training programs supervised by physiotherapists compared to daily physical activity in adults with low back pain lasting more than three months. The study also seeks to determine if new MRI methods can detect changes in spine tissue over time and whether these changes differ depending on the type of exercise performed. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups supervised digital training focused on core stability, supervised digital training focused on aerobic exercise, or a non-supervised daily physical activity program with regular physiotherapist support. Each group receives guidance and monitoring relevant to their assigned intervention. Throughout the study, participants will undergo clinical examinations, MRI scans, and complete patient-reported outcome measures at the start, 6 months, and 12 months. Researchers will assess changes in pain, clinical function, muscle condition, and psychological factors, alongside MRI-based tissue changes. This comprehensive follow-up helps track the impact of different exercise approaches on low back pain over one year.
