Effects of lumbar stabilization exercises on serum biomarker levels and clinical outcomes in lumbar disc herniation: a subgroup analysis of a randomized controlled trial
Our results demonstrate that no effect of lumbar stabilization exercise is seen on circulating levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-4, BE, AEA, and 2-AG. Further exercise trials are needed to investigate what type, duration, and intensity of exercise is relevant for biomarkers that may play a role in the immune process.
