Popis: The purpose of this meta-analysis study was to investigate the effect of lumbar stabilization exercise on low back pain by analyzing Korean studies. Studies for the analysis were searched in electronic bibliographic databases by using the keywords ‘lumbar stabilization exercise’ and ‘low back pain’. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and clinical controlled trials (CCTs) were included. Of the 36 studies identified in the search, 11 studies met the study criteria and were thus included in the meta-analysis. As a result, lumbar stabilization exercise showed a large effect size(ES) on back pain(ES, 0.84; 95% confidence interval, 0.55–1.22, p=0.025). In the analysis of the subcategorical variables, the RCTs showed larger ES(0.921) than the CCTs(0.693) and static+dynamic exercise showed larger ES than static exercise (0.675). In the analysis of the subcontinuous variables, as the exercise duration (weeks) and number of exercise per week increased, pain decreased(p
