Summary

There are many conservative treatment methods for the treatment of mechanical low back pain and they continue to be developed. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of inspiratory muscle training, which can be added to these treatment methods, on muscle endurance, functional capacity, pain intensity, disability, quality of life and sleep quality in people with mechanical low back pain.

Detailed description

When initial assessment will be completed, patients will be assigned to one of two possible sequences by simple randomization: study group (SG) or control group (CG). All participants will receive the core stabilization exercise program designed for mechanical low back pain for 8 weeks. Additionally, the study group will receive inspiratory muscle training for 8 weeks. All studies will be evaluated both at the beginning and end of the study in terms of pain, quality of life, sleep quality, disability level, muscle endurance and functional capacity. All data will be collected by the same physiotherapist at baseline and at the end of the study (8 weeks). The same physiotherapist will also supervise the exercises and inspiratory training.

Conditions

• Mechanical Low Back Pain

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Exercise	The core stabilization exercise program, which is individually prescribed and structured, will be applied for 8 weeks. The level of exercises will be increased over time according to the patient's condition. Exercises will be taught to patients. It will be carried out under the supervision of a physiotherapist three days a week for 8 weeks. On the remaining days, the patient will be asked to do it himself.
