What this Trial Is About
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is the most common medical problem observed among musculoskeletal pain and spinal pain problems. It can reduce the movements due to muscular imbalances, decreased activity of daily living, and effects on health-related quality of life. It is the major cause of activity limitation, work absence, and reported clinical issues. Most of the cases of low back pain remained undiagnosed and received only symptomatic management.
