A recent study conducted at Monash University in Australia has shed light on the effectiveness of a progressive run-walk interval training program in reducing pain and disability in adults with chronic low back pain (LBP). This program, delivered digitally and supported remotely, not only showed positive results in improving pain intensity and physical function but was also deemed safe and acceptable by participants.

Chronic low back pain is a prevalent issue affecting 7.5% of people globally and leading to significant years lived with disability. While exercise is often recommended as a treatment for LBP, there is limited research on the role of running in managing this condition. Despite concerns about the safety of running for individuals with LBP, recreational running has been associated with lower rates of back pain and healthier spinal conditions.

The study, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, aimed to evaluate whether a run-walk intervention could effectively treat non-specific chronic LBP. The research involved 40 participants aged 18–45 who were divided into an intervention group and a control group. The intervention group engaged in a 12-week run-walk interval program, while the control group continued with their usual care without starting any running exercises.

Results from the study indicated significant improvements in pain and disability for the intervention group. Participants experienced a decrease in average pain intensity and current pain intensity, as well as a reduction in disability as measured by the Oswestry Disability Index. Adherence to the training program was high, with participants attending 70% of the prescribed sessions on average.

Importantly, the study found no cases of attrition, suggesting that participants found the program acceptable and feasible. While nine non-serious adverse events were reported, mostly related to lower limb injuries, none were severe enough to cause long-term issues. These findings highlight the potential of a run-walk program as a safe, affordable, and easily accessible strategy for adults managing chronic LBP.

In conclusion, the research supports the use of run-walk interval training as an effective approach to reducing chronic low back pain. With proper guidance and adherence, this program could be a valuable tool in improving pain intensity and physical function in individuals with non-specific chronic LBP. The study provides promising insights into the role of running in pain management and highlights the importance of exploring alternative exercise options for individuals suffering from chronic LBP.
