The study aimed to investigate the efficacy of core strengthening and intensive dynamic back exercises on pain, muscle strength, endurance, and functional disability in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain.
The study will be based on a three-arm parallel group randomized control design. Forty-five participants with chronic non-specific low back pain will be recruited from the Physiotherapy department, at Integral University, India. Study objectives and procedure will be properly explained and written informed consent will be obtained at the beginning of the study. All the participants will be randomly divided into three groups A, B, and C. Experimental group A will be receiving the hot pack, active Stretching, isometric exercise intervention, and core strengthening exercises while group B will receive the hot pack, active Stretching, isometric exercise intervention, and intensive dynamic back exercises, control group C will receive the hot pack, active Stretching, isometric exercise intervention.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Pain Intensity | The pain intensity was assessed Using a numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), It's a 11 point scale, where zero indicates no pain and 10 indicates severe pain | 6 Weeks |
| functional Limitation | Functional limitation was assessed by using Oswestry disability Index questionnaire Each section is scored on a 0-5 scale, 5 representing the greatest disability. | 6 Weeks |
| Muscle Endurance | Muscle endurance was assessed by using timed endurance tests including the extensor endurance test, flexor endurance test and the side bridge test. The hold time was recorded in seconds once the patient was not able to maintain the respective endurance test position. | 6 Weeks |
