Protocol summary

Study aim
Evaluation of the Effect of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization and Pelvic Floor Exercises on Non-Specific Chronic Low Back Pain and Stress Urinary Incontinence In Women
Design
A randomized clinical trial with a control group and two intervention groups, without blinding, will be conducted on 30 patients. The rand function of Excel software will be used for randomization.
Settings and conduct
Location: Arak University Method: Randomized, controlled clinical trial Participants: Women with non-specific chronic back pain and stress urinary incontinence Intervention: Dynamic neuromuscular and pelvic floor stability exercises Intervention group 1: neuromuscular dynamic stability training Intervention group 2: Neuromuscular and pelvic floor dynamic stability training Control group: pelvic floor exercises Evaluations: Severity of back pain Stress urinary incontinence Quality of Life
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
This study seeks women with chronic low back pain and incontinence for an exercise intervention. Inclusion criteria: 2 vaginal deliveries max, 30-40 years old, BMI < 35, mild/moderate pain, diagnosed incontinence. Exclusion criteria: various medical conditions, limitations, or unwillingness to exercise.
Intervention groups
The study will involve 30 participants randomly assigned (10 per group) to one of three groups: * Group 1: Pelvic Floor Exercises (control group) * Group 2: Neuromuscular Dynamics Stability Exercises (DNS) * Group 3: Combination of DNS and Pelvic Floor Exercises
Main outcome variables
Non-specific Chronic Low Back Pain and Stress Urinary Incontinence

Randomization description
We prepare a list of people who have the conditions to enter the study. People are placed in blocks of three and a lottery is done for each block. The first person of each block is in the control group, the second person is in the group of neuromuscular dynamics exercises and the third person is in the group of neuromuscular dynamics stability exercises along with pelvic floor exercises.

Description
Group 1:Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization Exercises: One of the newest sports rehabilitation techniques is Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS). The DNS treatment method is based on a detailed assessment of the quality of stability and movement, and the purpose of these exercises is to restore the spinal integration system (ISSS) through specific functional exercises based on evolved kinesiology positions. These exercises should activate the optimal patterns necessary for stabilization (support) in the closed kinetic chain as well as dynamic movements in the open kinetic chain. The ultimate strategy in these exercises is to maintain central control, joint stability, and ideal quality of movement. By repeating the exercises, an automatic pattern is created, which becomes an essential part of everyday movement and skills. The exercises will be done for 8 weeks, 3 times a week for 45 to 60 minutes.

Description
Group 2: A combination of neuromuscular dynamic stability exercises and pelvic floor exercises: pelvic floor or Kegel exercises are those exercises that strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and help control the flow of urine and prevent involuntary leakage of urine. to be Kegel exercises include movements that help strengthen the muscles of the pelvic floor by tightening and then relaxing them and make them maintain their strength, just as other muscles in the body are strengthened by lifting weights. Doing Kegel exercises is a way to be strong. Keeping the pelvic floor muscles. These exercises will be done 3 times a week for 45 to 60 minutes for 8 weeks.
