Popis: OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of spinal stabilization exercises versus Maitland mobilization and laser therapy on non-specific low back pain (NSLBP). METHODS: This randomized controlled trial was conducted at Al-Noor Physio Center, Tayyab Physiotherapy Clinic, and Al-Zahra Medical Complex between June and December 2022. Study included 50 patients aged 18-60 years with NSLBP, selected through a simple random sampling technique. Participants were randomly assigned to Group-A (spinal stabilization and laser therapy) and Group-B (Maitland mobilization and laser therapy). Both groups received interventions three times a week for eight weeks. The primary outcomes—pain, disability, and lumbar range of motion (ROM)—were assessed using pre- and post-intervention tests with appropriate statistical analyses. RESULTS: Of the 50 participants, 28 (56%) were male and 22 (44%) females, with a mean age of 45.66 ± 8.48 years in Group-A and 44.68 ± 9.42 years in Group-B. Both groups were comparable at baseline in terms of age (p =0.10) and gender (p>0.05). The within-group analysis revealed significant reductions in pain, disability, and ROM in both groups (p
