In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Chronic non-specific low back pain is a common musculoskeletal condition that can adversely affect daily activities, functional capacity, sleep, and quality of life. Exercise therapy is a key component of conservative management, and core exercises are used to improve trunk control and the coordinated function of the abdominal, lumbar, and pelvic musculature. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation may be added to exercise to facilitate muscle activation and support pain management; however, the additional clinical benefit of different multichannel stimulation programs remains uncertain. This three-arm randomized controlled trial evaluates the effects of two multichannel neuromuscular electrical stimulation programs added to a standardized core exercise program in adults with chronic non-specific low back pain. Forty-five participants are allocated in a 1:1:1 ratio to (1) core exercise plu
