Effects Of 8-Week Core Stabilization Exercise With Vitamin D On Pain and Functional Limitation in Adults

Chronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) is a prevalent condition contributing to pain, functional limitations, and reduced quality of life. Core stabilization exercises (CSE) have shown promise in enhancing spinal stability and reducing symptoms. Additionally, vitamin D supplementation plays a critical role in musculoskeletal health. Study objective will be to determine combined effect of vitamin D supplementation and core Stabilization exercises is better than core Stabilization Exercises alone in reducing pain-related and functional independence among chronic non-specific low back patient A randomized controlled trial will be conducted on 52 adults aged 25-45 diagnosed with Chronic non-specific low back pain.

About this study

Subjects will be divided into two groups: the intervention group will receive an 8-week Core stabilization exercises program alongside daily vitamin D supplementation, while the control group will receive either Core stabilization exercises alone Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and Oswestry Disability

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Adults aged 25 to 45 years will be included.
  • Both gender Male /Female will participate.
  • Subjects with diagnosed non-specific low lumber pain persisting for at least 12 weeks will be included.
  • Subjects must have baseline pain score of ≥4 on the Visual Analog Scale.
  • Confirmed serum vitamin D levels <30 ng/m will be included

Exclusion criteria

  • Low lumber pain due to specific causes such as fracture malignancy infection or inflammatory diseases (e.g. ankylosing spondylitis).
  • Presence of significant comorbidities that could interfere with participation (e.g. cardiovascular neurological or respiratory disorders).
  • History of spinal surgery within the last year.
  • Subjects currently taking vitamin D supplements or undergoing other treatments for vitamin D deficiency.
  • Use of medications such as corticosteroids or opioids that might affect pain perception or functional assessment.
  • Enrolled in any other physical therapy or pain management program within the last three months.

Diagnostic Test

stabilization exercise 3 session per week which include 10 min warm and 10 min cool down (walking ) sham medicine, 6 sets of movements co contraction of abdominal muscles (Abdominal hollowing) ,bridging ,dead bug and plank

Primary outcomes

  1. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

    Time frame: 12 Months

    The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) uses a 10 cm line with anchors like "no pain" and "worst pain imaginable", and the score is determined by measuring the distance (in mm or cm) from the "no pain" end to the patient's mark, ranging from 0 to 100

  2. The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)

    Time frame: 12 Months

    The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) is a questionnaire used to assess functional disability in individuals with low back pain, with scores ranging from 0% (no disability) to 100% (maximum disability), and interpreted as follows: 0-20% minimal disability, 21-40% moderate, 41-60% severe, 61-80% crippling, and 81-100% bed-bound or exaggerated symptoms
