Reformer Pilates vs Conventional Physiotherapy for Chronic Low Back Pain
Summary
This clinical trial registration (NCT07543952) compares short-term effects of reformer Pilates exercises against conventional physiotherapy on pain intensity, functional disability, and health-related quality of life in individuals with non-specific chronic low back pain. The randomized controlled trial aims to address limited direct comparative evidence between these two commonly used exercise-based physiotherapy approaches. Principal investigator and enrollment details are available on ClinicalTrials.gov.

What changed
This ClinicalTrials.gov study registration documents a randomized controlled trial comparing reformer Pilates exercises to conventional physiotherapy for treating non-specific chronic low back pain. The study will evaluate short-term effects on pain intensity, functional disability, and health-related quality of life as primary and secondary outcomes. Healthcare providers and clinical researchers interested in musculoskeletal interventions should note this trial addresses a gap in comparative evidence cited by the investigators.
Affected parties include clinical investigators conducting musculoskeletal pain research and healthcare providers recommending exercise-based treatments for chronic low back pain. The registration provides no compliance obligations but serves as a reference for current clinical research addressing guideline-recommended physiotherapy approaches.

Reformer Pilates vs Conventional Physiotherapy in Chronic Low Back Pain
N/A NCT07543952 Kind: NA Apr 22, 2026
Abstract
Non-specific chronic low back pain is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorders worldwide and is associated with functional limitations and reduced quality of life. Exercise-based physiotherapy approaches are strongly recommended in clinical guidelines. Pilates exercises are frequently used due to their potential effects on core stability and movement control, while conventional physiotherapy remains a commonly applied treatment method. However, randomized controlled trials directly comparing these interventions are limited.
This study aims to compare the short-term effects of reformer Pilates exercises and conventional physiotherapy on pain intensity, functional disability and health-related quality of life in individuals with non-specific chronic low back pain.
Conditions: Low Back Pain
Interventions: reformer Pilates exercises, conventional physiotherapy group
