Study will be a Randomized clinical trial to check the effects of ELDOA technique versus lumbar SNAGS with motor control exercises on pain, function and mobility in patients with chronic low back pain. Duration of study will be 8 months, non probability convenience sampling technique will be used, subject following eligibility criteria from District Headquarters Hospital Okara will be randomly allocated in two groups using computer random number generator. baseline assessment will be done. Group A participants will be given baseline treatment along with ELDOA exercises, Group B participants will be given baseline treatment along with Lumbar SNAGS and motor control exercises for 3 weeks. Assessment will be done by using Numeric Pain Rating Scale, Oswestry Disability Index and Inclinometer at baseline, at 3 weeks and a follow up will be taken at 6 weeks. 3 sessions per week will be given, data will be analyzed by using SPSS version 21.
LBP is a significant global health problem, and its impact is still great. In 2019, there were 6972.5 (95% UI 6190.5 to 7860.5) age-standardized point prevalence estimates for LBP worldwide, with 568.4 million (95% UI 505.0 to 640.6 million) prevalent cases. The GBD research also revealed that LBP has a worldwide point prevalence of 9.4%, with men having a greater prevalence than women (8.7% vs. 10.1%). Back discomfort might arise as a result of mobility disorders, musculoskeletal sprains, incorrect spine positioning, or nucleus pulposus degeneration. There is huge literature regarding the management of low back pain and yet after the decades of research there are gaps in treatment options. The current study will compare the ELDOA technique to Lumbar SNAGS with motor control exercises. The current study is novel in a way that there is very limited evidence avialbale on ELDOA Technique and Motor Control Exercises. This study will provide vital insights into their efficacy and can help to guide clinical decision making for individuals with low back pain. Furthermore, this study can add to the expanding body of information regarding low back pain treatment and will help to improve patient outcomes.

| ELDOA exercises | Other | The patients will be asked to sit down on a floor in upright position and keep their legs apart and knees semi-flexed, feet in outward and upward position, knees constantly pushing downwards, straight lower back, raise arms with palms facing upward, and chin should be pulled back. ELDOA stretch for L5-S1 level Patients will be asked to lay on floor and flatten and bring their legs up and straight with the support of wall, straight knees and keep distance between them, connect their toes, raise arm and externally rotate with wrist extension than press their heels and palms out. ELDOA exercises will be performed with 2 sets of 5 repetitions with 45 second hold and15 sec rest between each set once a day. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Numeric Pain Rating Scale | The 11-point NPRS (intervals from 0-10) is used to quantify pain intensity; 0 represents no pain, and 10 represent the worst possible agony | 3rd Week |
| Oswestry Disability Index | Questionnaire examines perceived level of disability in 10 everyday activities of daily living. Test-retest reliability has been shown to be high, a study by Fairbank et al recorded values ranging from = 0.83 to 0.99 that can vary over a given period of time. Each item consists of 6 statements. With Each item is scored on a 0---5 scale, and the maximum score is 50. | 3rd Week |
| Inclinometer | Lumbar spine mobility will be assessed by inclinometer. It consists of a circular, fluid- filled disk with a bubble that indicates the number of degrees on the scale of protractor. | 3rd Week |

| Lumbar SNAGS and motor control exercises | Other | The patient will be seated and his pelvis will be stabilized with belt at the level of the anterior superior iliac spine while the SNAGs are administered. The ulnar aspect of the therapist's hand will be placed over the spinous processes of the affected segment's superior vertebrae, for flexion glide and inferior vertebrae for extension glide respectively. A passive glide will be applied and kept up until the patient finished a full movement arc. The glides will be given for six repetitions for three sets every session. Glide can be given unilateral for other movements. Motor Control Exercises: Exercise training with 7sec Hold and 10 reps |
