Comparative Effects of Cognitive Functional Therapy With Kinetic Control Training on Non-specific Low Back Pain
Sponsor: Lahore University of Biological and Applied Sciences
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare Cognitive Functional Therapy (CFT) with Kinetic Control Training (KCT) in participants with non-specific low back pain. The study wants to see which approach helps lower pain, reduce disability and improve movement control. The main questions it aims to answer is * Is there difference between Cognitive Functional Therapy and Kinetic control training on pain intensity, disability and movement control in participants with Non Specific Low Back Pain? * Is there difference between Cognitive Functional Therapy and Kinetic control training on pain catastrophizing and self-efficacy in participants with Non Specific Low Back Pain? Researcher will compare the both CFT and KCT group to see if one treatment is superior to other in treating participants with non-specific back pain. Participants will * Attend treatment sessions based on the group they are placed in. * Take session three times each week for eight weeks. * They will be asked short questions about their pain, daily activity, and movement throughout the study.

Interventions
Cognitive Functional Therapy
Patients will receive 24 sessions over a period of 8 weeks. Each session will be of 1 hour 15 minutes. Standard Physical Therapy will be provided in which patient will receive Hot pack with TENS and perform a set of exercises including Curl up, Bird dog and side bridge back exercises for 5 repetitions. Then Cognitive Functional Therapy (CFT) will be applied from day one. CFT is structured into three phases: (1) making sense of pain, (2) exposure with control, and (3) lifestyle changes. Making Sense of Pain : This component reflects the cognitive aspect of Cognitive Functional Therapy. It involves hearing patient's personal narrative about their chronic pain. Exposure with Control: It involves graded exposure to feared movements and functional tasks. Lifestyle Changes: This component focuses on lifestyle factors that contribute to pain and disability. It involves modifying sedentary lifestyle behaviors and encouraging healthy routine.
Kinetic Control Training
Patients will receive 24 sessions. In each session, Standard Physical Therapy will be applied which will be the same in both groups. In Kinetic Control Training (KCT), patients will first undergo direction specific movement control tests. These tests will identify direction-specific movement faults (e.g., flexion, extension, rotation control deficits) that contribute to symptoms. Based on these tests, individualized retraining will be provided to the patients. This retraining will improve control of specific muscles which will help reduce pain and improve disability.
