The Effect of Pelvic Floor Muscle Training Along with an Exercise Intervention in Non-specific Chronic Low Back Pain: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Year: 2025

Type: review

Study designs: Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis

Abstract: Introduction: Non-specific chronic Low back pain (NSCLBP) is often linked to trunk muscle dysfunction, affecting abdominopelvic stability.Research emphasizes assessing pelvic floor muscle (PFM) strength in women with NSCLBP, and therefore, PFM training could serve as a valuable component to enhance rehabilitation by improving pain, strength, and functionality.Objective: The present systematic review and meta-analysis aim to synthesize and evaluate the findings from randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that investigate the impact of pelvic floor muscle-strengthening exercises on pain, functional disability, muscle strength, and quality of life.
