"This randomized controlled trial investigated the effects of conventional physiotherapy, core stabilization exercises, and WBV-supported core stabilization exercises on pain intensity, functional disability, quality of life, and sleep quality in male patients with lumbar disc herniation without neurological deficits."
"This study aimed to compare the effects of whole-body vibration (WBV)-supported core exercises, standard core exercises, and conventional physiotherapy on pain, disability, quality of life, and sleep quality among male patients aged 30-50 years with lumbar disc herniation without neurological deficits. Participants were randomly allocated to one of three groups and underwent 12 sessions over 4 weeks. The outcomes assessed were pain (VAS), disability (ODI), quality of life (SF-36), and sleep quality (PSQI)."
