Topic: chronic low back pain

The prevalence of chronic low back pain (CLBP) among the Pakistani population is reported to be as high as 78% leading to different physiological and psychosocial alterations. This randomized controlled trial was specifically designed to compare the biofeedback surface electromyography (sEMG) effectiveness for chronic low back pain in the Pakistani population.This was a single-centered study conducted on 100 CLBP patients randomized equally into two groups namely; Group A (intervention group, n=50) and Group B (Control Group, n=50) to receive sEMG therapy and continued care, respectively.

We explored the potential of altering movement-evoked pain in individuals with chronic low back pain (LBP) by manipulating visual proprioceptive cues through virtual reality (VR). Additionally, we investigated whether individuals with higher levels of pain, kinesiophobia, disability and catastrophizing might demonstrate greater susceptibility to visual feedback manipulation. In this cross-sectional study, 50 patients with non-specific chronic LBP extended their lumbar spine until the onset of pain. This was done both without the use of VR and using the VR. The visual feedback regarding the amo
