Effectiveness of Core Stability Exercises in Patients with Non-Specific Low Back Pain: A Narrative Review

Abstract Background:Non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) is a leading cause of disability worldwide, with no clearly identifiable pathology in most cases. Impaired core muscle function and reduced spinal stability are considered key contributors. Core stability exercises (CSE) have been widely used in rehabilitation to enhance neuromuscular control and provide dynamic support to the spine.
Objectives:
To evaluate the effectiveness of core stability exercises in reducing pain, improving functional outcomes, and enhancing muscle performance in patients with non-specific low back pain.
Materials and Methods:A narrative review of literature was conducted using electronic databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect. Relevant studies including randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, and clinical trials published in recent years were included. Articles focusing on adult patients with NSLBP and interventions involving core stability exercises were analyzed. Outcome measures included pain intensity, functional disability, muscle activation, and quality of life.
Results:The reviewed studies indicate that core stability exercises significantly reduce pain and improve functional ability in patients with NSLBP. Enhanced activation of deep stabilizing muscles such as transversus abdominis and multifidus was consistently reported. While CSE showed superior outcomes compared to no treatment, its effectiveness was found to be comparable to general exercise programs in several studies.
Conclusion:Core stability exercises are effective in the management of non-specific low back pain, particularly in improving pain and function. However, they should be integrated into a comprehensive rehabilitation program rather than used as a standalone intervention.
Keywords Keywords: Non-specific low back pain, core stability exercises, rehabilitation, spinal stability, functional outcome, pain management.
