Effect of Teletherapy-supported Training on Nursing Students

"Exercise program guided by online sessions. Subjects perform this exercise program three times a week at home, so that they complete four sessions per week for six weeks. The duration of a session is approximately twenty minutes. There are six exercises with three sets and about fifteen repetitions. Subjects in the treatment group also receive an instructional video. The subjects keep a diary in which they record their adherence to the treatment protocol at home.~At the beginning of the intervention and after the sixth week, participants are assessed with ODI, NDI and SF36-Short and NRS-11 scales. At the end, we use the Global Rating Scale."

Subjects in the control group will be advised to maintain their daily routine but will be asked to refrain from other treatments to avoid co-interventions during the 6-week study period. However, the use of painkillers such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics (NSAIDs) taken by study participants in all groups for more than 3 months is allowed and will be documented (taking a pragmatic approach). Any change in medication will be monitored and documented by the PT at each visit.
