Efficacy of Virtual Reality-based Training in Patients With Chronic Non-specific Low Back Pain
Sponsor: October 6 University
Summary
Low back pain is one of the most prevalent pain conditions worldwide. Virtual reality-based training has been explored as a new treatment strategy for low back pain. Present evidence indicates that the effectiveness of virtual reality-based training for people with chronic low back pain is inconclusive. All patients will be recruited from the faculty of physical therapy at the October 6 University All the assessment measurements will be done at the Faculty of Physical Therapy, October 6 University

Interventions
VR (VR-Control)
uses immersive, computer-generated environments and virtual reality headsets to simulate real-world situations, allowing trainees to practice skills in a safe, interactive, and risk-free setting. This technology offers advantages like cost savings, reduced risk in hazardous situations, better learning retention through hands-on experience, and the ability to repeat scenarios for proficiency.
Balance training
Balance exercises that can help with low back pain include single-leg standing, heel-to-toe walking, calf raises, bird-dogs, and bridges, which strengthen the core muscles and improve overall stability. Start by holding onto a sturdy object for support and gradually increase the difficulty by moving to less stable surfaces or closing your eyes.
