Investigation of the Acute Effects of Core Stabilization and 360-Degree Breathing Exercises on Balance and Proprioception in Individuals With Non-Specific Low Back Pain
Sponsor: Cumhuriyet University
Summary
This study is designed as a single-blind randomized controlled trial. Male and female patients aged 18-65 years with complaints of non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) lasting longer than 12 weeks will be included in the study. Participants will be randomly assigned into two parallel groups: control and intervention. The control group will perform core stabilization exercises five days a week for three weeks. In the intervention group, core stabilization exercises will be combined with 360-degree breathing exercises. To our knowledge, there is no randomized controlled trial investigating the effect of combining core stabilization with 360-degree breathing in individuals with NSLBP. The aim of this study is to examine the acute effects of combining 360-degree breathing techniques with core stabilization exercises on balance and proprioception in individuals with NSLBP.

Interventions
Core Egzercise
The core exercise group will perform core stabilization exercises for a total of 15 sessions, five days a week for three weeks. Exercises will include pelvic tilt, bridge, dead bug, bird dog, mini squats on a balance board, and wall planks. The number of repetitions will be increased from 10 to 20, and plank duration will be increased from 30 seconds to 45 seconds. A 5-minute warm-up and cool-down session will be included.
Core Exercises + Breathing Exercises
This group will perform core stabilization exercises combined with the 360-degree breathing technique, for a total of 15 sessions over three weeks (five days a week). "360-degree breathing" is a novel breathing method targeting deep and controlled inhalations into various regions of the body. Unlike traditional breathing exercises, 360-degree breathing ensures that all directions of the lungs are equally ventilated.
