Gamified Home-Based Core Neuromuscular Training for Chronic Low Back Pain
Sponsor: Princess Nourah Bint Abdulrahman University
Summary
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of gamified home-based core neuromuscular training on pain intensity, functional disability, core muscular endurance, and exercise adherence in women with chronic nonspecific low back pain. Participants will be randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to either a gamified intervention group or a non-gamified control group. Both groups will perform the same progressive core exercise program. The intervention group will use a digital application with gamification features, while the control group will perform the exercises without gamification. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, week 3, and week 6. The study will determine whether gamification provides additional benefits over conventional home-based exercise in improving clinical outcomes and exercise adherence in women with chronic nonspecific low back pain.

Interventions
Gamified Intervention Group: core neuromuscular exercise program using a digital application with gamification features
a six-week home-based core neuromuscular exercise program using a digital application with gamification features. The program will include three sessions per week, each lasting approximately 20-30 minutes.
Non-Gamified Control Group
six-week home-based core neuromuscular exercise program without gamification, with three sessions per week, each lasting approximately 20-30 minutes.
