Abstract: Background: Mechanical Low Back Ache is the most frequent complaint among people nowadays. A person with Mechanical Low Back Ache is avoids physical activities which causes disuse atrophy of the lumbar muscles and decreased strength of the muscle and causing pain. Objectives: The study is to compare the effect of Dynamic Muscular Stabilization Technique (DMST) and Conventional Exercises on Pain in patients with Mechanical Low Back Ache. Subjects & methods: A Pre-test and Post-test Quasi Experimental study design was used. A Convenient Sampling Method was used to recruit patients (N=20) diagnosed with Mechanical Low Back Ache and they were randomized into two groups. The group A was treated with Dynamic Muscular Stabilization Technique (DMST) and the group B was treated with Conventional Exercises for the period of 6 weeks. The treatment outcome was assessed by using Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). Both Paired & Unpaired ?t? test was used to show the treatment effectiveness. Result: After 6 weeks of training period the Dynamic Muscular Stabilization Technique (DMST) scored significantly higher than the Conventional Exercises for Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). Conclusion: There is a significantly reduction in Pain intensity after the treatment session Dynamic Muscular Stabilization Technique (DMST) group registered a significant improvement when compared to Conventional Exercises in improving function and in relieving pain.
