- Core stability training significantly reduces pain and improves function in chronic non-specific low back pain (CNLBP) patients, despite high heterogeneity in study results.
- For pain relief, Sling Exercise Therapy (SET) and Pilates show the strongest effects, followed by breathing training; conventional core stability training is less effective.
- For functional improvement, SET and combined interventions outperform single training modalities.
- Short-term SET (<8 weeks) provides prominent benefits, while long-term breathing training (≥8 weeks) sustains effects.
- Clinical protocols should be individualized, and future studies need to standardize parameters and examine multimodal synergies.
