What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Low back pain (LBP) represents a common musculoskeletal conditions worlwide, causing substantial disability and economic burden. While traditional semi-rigid lumbar supports are commonly prescribed to alleviate LBP symptoms, their effectiveness remains limited by their static mechanical properties and lack of adaptability to movement patterns. Motorized lumbar support offer a novel approach by allowing the application of controlled decompressive forces while maintaining functional mobility. This experimental study aims to compare the effectiveness between a motorized lumbar support and a standard semi-rigid support in adults with non-specific LBP. Seventy adults with non-specific low back pain (LBP) will be recruited. Primary outcomes (pain intensity and physical functioning \[daily average\]) will be collected daily, while secondary outcomes (average pain intensity over the last week, p
