Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Will be included in the research, women with a clinical diagnosis of nonspecific chronic low back pain, between 60 and 79 years old, with a complaint of low back pain for more than 3 months, a pain level greater than 3 on the numerical pain scale of 11 points and women in the same age group without low back pain and/or other type of chronic pain. Asymptomatic elderly women cannot have chronic low back pain and no episodes of pain in the last three months. Volunteers will also need to have a body mass index (BMI) <30 kg/m2, not have undergone spinal surgery; not exercising regularly; not doing physical therapy or other pain treatment; not to use analgesic, anti-inflammatory, opioid or immunosuppressive medication
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Exclusion criteria will be missing one of the assessments, more than 20% of the intervention or presenting any motor impairment (paraplegia, paraparesis, monoplegia, monoparesis, hemiplegia, hemiparesis), psychiatric (schizophrenia, epilepsy, severe depression) or cognitive (moderate mental retardation , severe and/or profound), auditory, visual or communication disorders that make it impossible to carry out the protocol. If there is any suspicion of a disability, the volunteer will be referred for evaluation by a general practitioner and, if confirmed, the participant will be referred to the physiotherapy, speech therapy and/or psychology departments at UFS for proper follow-up
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The outcome will be to verify the effects of functional training and dual task training in the management of pain in elderly women with chronic low back pain | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the effects of functional training and dual task on the pressure pain threshold, temporal summation and conditioned pain modulation. To verify the effects of these training protocols on trunk stability, maximum isometric strength and endurance of the trunk musculature of elderly women with and no chronic low back pain. To analyze the effects of training on the inflammatory profile of volunteers | — |
