Abstract
Introduction and Purpose: Non-specific chronic back pain(NSLBP) is one of the main problems of the health community, which has a high prevalence. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of suspended core stability exercises on the core stability, pain level, static and dynamic balance in the females with NSLBP.
Methods: In the present study, 21 females with NSLBP were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The Core stability, Pain level, Static and Dynamic balance were measured by valid tests of Core stability, Visual analogue scale (VAS) and Biodex balance system respectively. The SPSS25 software were used for data analysis.
Results: Based on the results of the study, unlike the control group, there was a significant difference in core stability, pain level, the static and dynamic balance variables from pre-test to post-test in the experimental group(P≤0/05). Also this difference was observed between the experimental and control groups(P≤0/05).
Conclusion: According to the results of this research and suspension system of TRX exercises, Core Stability Exercises with TRX straps which is not elasticity, may simultaneously improve core stability, static and dynamic balance and decrease pain in female with NSCLBP.

Abstract
Introduction: The present study examined the prevalence of back pain and its association with anxiety and
depression in nurses working in affiliated hospitals to social security organization in Isfahan city.
Research Method: The design of this research was descriptive-correlation and its population consisted of
815 nurses working in Shariati (510 subjects) and Gharazy hospitals (305 subjects). Research sample
included 244 (78 males and 166 females) with age range of 25 to 40 years and mean age 35/3±6/4 years
subjects selected using stratified random sampling method. Visual analog scale of pain questionnaire (VAS),
Katel Anxiety questionnaire and the Beck Depression questionnaire were used. Pearson correlation
coefficient and independent t-test were used in inferential statistic part. The data were analyzed with
significant level of 0/05, by SPSS 16.
Results: The results showed that 55/3% of nurses had mechanical acute or chronic low back pain. There
was a positive and significant correlation between low back pain and anxiety and depression in nurses (P ≤
0.05). Also there was no significant difference between the mean value of pain severity in male and female
nurses.
Conclusion: Due to the relationship between pain, anxiety and depression in nurses, attention to physical
and psychological factors simultaneously in the prevention and treatment of back pain in these patients is
recommended.

Abstract
This study aim to investigate the effect of different slops on mechanical lumbosacral angles and lumbar stability of healthy and mechanical low back pain (LBP) persons. This case- control study was performed on 38 females (18 LBP and 20 healthy subjects) who were referred to the Hospital in sari. At the beginning, Subjects’demographic data were recorded. In order to measure lumbosacral angles and lumbar spine stability evaluation, three lateral radiography plots in state of standing on various slope (ο, +3.7, -3.7) were prepared. There were no significant differences between the biomechanical lumbosacral angles by standing on the various slopes, within and between 2 groups (LBP and healthy females) (p≥0.05).There was more lumbar instability in females with LBP and lumbar mechanical stability was significantly difference between 2 groups in each slope (P +=0.023, P –=0.009, P 0=0.004). Although, lumbar stability was not significantly different within each LBP and healthy groups, on the various slopes (p≥0.05). It seems that lumbar instability may increases in mechanical LBP, that won’t manage by various levels of slop.

Abstract
Chronic low back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal problems. This disease, in addition to causing pain and disability affects the gait parameters in patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of aquatic exercises therapy on the severity of pain, disability and Spatiotemporal parameters and kinetic of gait in women with chronic low back pain. Twenty-four women with chronic low back pain (with a mean age of 26.6 years) participated in this study. The exercise protocol was conducted in water for 8 weeks. The severity of pain and disability were measured by Quebec and Oswestry questionnaires respectively. gait parameters were evaluated using a foot pressure device. Aquatic exercises therapy significantly decreased pain and disability severity and significantly improved gait parameters in the experimental group (p≤0.05). Fore there more, the significant difference between the variables in the post-test was obtained between experimental and control groups (p≤0.05). No significant difference was observed between the pre-test and post-test comparisons in the control group (p≥0.05). Regarding the reduction of pain and disability and improvement of gait parameters after eight weeks’ intervention in experimental group, the use of this protocol is recommended to improve patients with chronic low back pain as a new method.

Abstract
Background and aim: The purpose of this study is to examine how eight weeks of general exercises (GEs) combined with cognitive functional therapy (CFT) affect women with chronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) in terms of pain, quality of life (QoL), and muscle endurance.
Methods: 45 women with CNSLBP participated in this study for eight weeks in three groups: GEs, GEs with CFT, and control. Pain, QoL and muscle endurance were evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS), SF-36 questionnaire, and Biering-Sorensen test, respectively. Mixed-model repeated measure test with repeated measurement design was used for data analysis.
Results: The results revealed a significant difference in the investigated variables between the pre-test and post-test for the intervention groups, but no difference was seen in the control group.
Discussion and final conclusion: The group of GEs combined with CFT distinguished itself significantly from the group of GEs in the comparison of the factors of physical performance, emotional health, and general health from sub-sections of QoL, and also muscular endurance. According to the results, it is recommended that women with CNSLBP use GEs in combination with CFT to reduce pain, improve QoL, and increase muscle endurance.

Abstract
Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of a combination of pain neuroscience education and targeted cognitive motor control training with targeted cognitive motor control training alone in patients with chronic low back pain.
Materials and Methods: Fifty-four chronic low back pain patients (pain neuroscience education with targeted cognitive motor control training group, n=27 and targeted cognitive motor control training only group, n=27) participated in this study. Pain, disability, central sensitization inventory, and kinesiophobia were assessed at baseline and eight weeks after interventions. Repeated measures analysis of variance and linear mixed models were used to examine between-group differences.
Results: A significant group×time interaction effect was found for pain (p=0.008), central sensitization inventory (p=0.002) and kinesiophobia (p<0.001) in the pain neuroscience education with targeted cognitive motor control training group compared to the targeted cognitive motor control training only group after eight weeks. Main effects of time were observed for pain, disability, and fear of movement after interventions (p<0.001). No significant group×time interaction effects was found for disability (p=0.50).
Conclusions: This study’s findings support the provision of pain neuroscience education as a clinically effective addition to targeted cognitive motor control training in chronic low back pain patients.
