This study outlines a Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT) evaluating whether combining diaphragmatic breathing with Dead Bug exercises provides superior benefits compared to Dead Bug exercises alone for individuals suffering from chronic non-specific low back pain. The trial will randomly assign 34 participants (aged 18-50 with mild-to-moderate back pain lasting at least 3 months) into two 6-week intervention groups (3 sessions per week) to measure and compare changes in pain intensity via the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), core stability using a Pressure Biofeedback Unit (PBU) and the Modified Isometric Stability Test (MIST), fear of movement via the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK-11), and functional disability through the Modified Oswestry Disability Index (MODI).
