Sponsor's own description

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the MEET-R module (Multimodal Exercises and Education Tele-Rehabilitation) for improving pain, disability, and posture of dentists with work-related non-specific chronic low back pain.

The main question is "Is MEET-R, a telerehabilitation multimodal exercises module, effective for managing pain, disability, and posture of Pakistani dentists with low back pain?" It aims to To assess the efficacy of MEET-R module for improving pain, disability, and posture of dentists with work-related non-specific chronic low back pain in a randomized controlled trial by,

1. comparing the mean difference in pain ( assessed using Numeric Rating Scale, NRS sores) before and after intervention between dentists with non-specific chronic low back pain receiving the MEET-R telerehabilitation and a control group.
2. comparing the proportion of improvement in disability, defined as having at least 30% decrease in Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMQ) score, between dentists with non-specific chronic low back pain receiving the MEET-R telerehabilitation and a control group.
3. comparing the mean difference in posture, assessed using the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) score, before and after intervention between dentists with non-specific chronic low back pain receiving the MEET-R telerehabilitation and a control group.

Intervention Group Participants will follow the MEET-R that will include stretching, strengthening and core stabilization exercises, and education material pertaining to the proper posture during work.

The Control Group The control group is allowed to opt for self-care management of back pain in the form of medications, rest, conventional physiotherapy, and a home exercise plan. They are also allowed to change their self-care management during the study period; information about the use of the alternative management will be recorded. The information on self-care management will be gathered after 6 weeks at the end of the intervention

Researchers will compare MEET-R group and control group to see if there is difference in the efficacy of MEET-R module for improving pain, disability, and posture of dentists with work-related non-specific chronic low back pain compared in a randomized controlled trial.
