Introduction and aim: Lumbar pain syndrome (LPS) denotes a set of symptoms of different etiology that are manifested by pain and limited function and mobility at the transition from the lumbar to the sacral spine. The Pilates method and dynamic neuromuscular stabilization (DNS) are increasingly used in the treatment of LPS. The aim of this paper is to present the LBS and to determine and compare the impact of Pilates and DNS on the treatment of LPS. Methods and materials: Google Scholar, PubMed, PeDro and Hrčak databases were searched. Papers in the time range from 2012 to 2021 were selected, and the largest number of studies belongs to the time period from 2017 to 2021 (n = 35). Results: 40 studies were included in the paper. 20 studies addressed the topic of the impact of Pilates on the treatment of LPS, and another 20 on the impact of DNS on the treatment of LPS. Pilates has shown positive results in terms of reducing pain and disability levels and improving quality of life, but has not proven superiority over other techniques. DNS has shown improvements in locomotor system functionality, but studies that target the impact of DNS on LPS are lacking. Conclusion: The literature review results suggest that Pilates and DNS could be effective methods in treatment of LPS, but more research is needed with more subjects. The treatment of LPS needs to be further investigated because although the positive effect of active exercise is very well known, there is no statistically significant evidence of the superiority of a particular method of treating LPS.
