INTRODUCTION: Stabilization exercises used in low back pain rehabilitation involve activation of the core muscles including the pelvic floor. The objective is to evaluate the benefits on pain and functional disability of pelvic floor work in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain. METHODS: Review conducted according to PRISMA recommendations. The search was conducted in 3 databases. Articles evaluating a pelvic floor work program associated with conventional treatment in adult patients with chronic non-specific low back pain were selected. Pain and disability were assessed. RESULTS: 5 articles were selected. Studies showed an improvement in outcomes for all groups after the intervention. However, 3 studies show better results for experimental groups involving pelvic floor work (pain -- visual analogue scale: -3.86 versus 3.11; incapacity-Oswestry Disability Index: -30 versus -26). CONCLUSIONS: The results being clinically of average relevance, the benefit of conventional treatment involving the pelvic floor appears moderate. Level of Evidence: 2.
