Pilates and Resistance Training for Pain, Disability, and Sleep in Chronic Low Back Pain

This study will investigate the effect of Pilates and resistance training on pain, disability, and sleep quality in patients with chronic low back pain and sleep disturbances. Participants will be randomly assigned into three groups: Combined intervention group: Pilates plus resistance training Single intervention group: Pilates alone Control group: Advices only All interventions will be delivered 3 times per week for 8 weeks, with outcome measures assessed at baseline, post-intervention (8 weeks), and follow-up (16 weeks). It is expected that the combined intervention group will show the greatest improvements in pain, disability, and sleep quality, while the single intervention group will demonstrate moderate benefits compared with usual care.
