What this Trial Is About
This research aims to compare the effects of basic and functional inspiratory muscle training combined with classical physiotherapy on pain, disability, and functionality in adults with non-specific chronic low back pain. Participants aged 18 to 65 with low back pain lasting at least 3 months and moderate pain levels will be included. The study evaluates how these different treatments impact pain intensity, disability, muscle strength, and muscle thickness over time. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups. The first group receives classical physiotherapy alone, including hotpack, ultrasound, TENS, and basic exercises for 30 sessions over 10 weeks. The second group receives classical physiotherapy plus foundation inspiratory muscle training (IKE) face-to-face and additional home training twice daily, with exercise intensity adjusted weekly. The third group receives classical physiotherapy plus functional inspiratory muscle training (F-ICE), which includes foundation training for the first 4 weeks followed by resisted breathing exercises for 6 weeks, with similar home training and intensity adjustments. Throughout the study, assessments occur before treatment, after 30 sessions, and at 3, 6, and 12 months. Researchers measure pain intensity, disability, respiratory muscle strength, muscle thickness via ultrasound, aerobic capacity, flexibility, muscle endurance and strength, postural control, and quality of life. Participants complete questionnaires on physical activity, fear of movement, pain catastrophizing, anxiety, and depression. Exercise adherence is monitored with diaries, and all these measures help evaluate the treatments' impacts and safety over one year.
