| Introduction: The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of dynamic neuromuscular stability exercises and yoga on pain and disability in women with chronic nonspecific low back pain. Methods: This quasi-experimental study compared the effects of dynamic neuromuscular training and yoga on women with chronic nonspecific low back pain, using a pre-test–post-test design. Forty-five participants were randomly assigned to two intervention groups and a control group. Pain and disability were assessed through various scales, and data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including ANOVA, in SPSS22. The study aimed to evaluate how these exercise interventions affected participants’ pain and disability levels. Results: The results of the study showed that both training programs were effective in reducing pain (p=0.001) and disability (p=0.001). Also, the results of the present study in comparing the effects of training programs showed that there was a significant difference between the control group and yoga exercises in the post-test and follow-up periods in the variables of pain (p=0.001) and disability(p=0.001). Also,between the two control and dynamic neuromuscular stabilization groups, a significant difference was observed in the variables of pain (p=0.001) and disability (p=0.001) in the post-test and follow-up periods. The results of comparing the two training methods also showed that there was a significant difference in the disability variable (p=0.006; p=0.003) between the two groups in the post-test and follow-up periods. This difference was also observed in the pain variable in the follow-up period (p=0.04). However, no significant difference was observed in the other variables between the two training groups. Conclusion: Overall, the results showed that yoga and dynamic neuromuscular stabilization exercises reduced pain and disability. As these exercises are cost-effective and free of side effects, occupational therapists and rehabilitation specialists are recommended to use them to reduce symptoms and pain from this disorder. |
