Abstract Synopsis

  • This meta-analysis compares core stability exercises to general exercises for treating chronic low back pain, finding that core stabilization may reduce pain and disability more effectively in the short term.
  • It shows that while core stability exercises help more in the immediate aftermath (short-term), there are no significant differences between the two types of exercise after 6 months or a year.
  • Overall, core stability exercises might be better for quick relief but don't necessarily offer long-term benefits over general exercise for managing chronic low back pain.]
