Filter by:The majority of the study consists of standard of care treatment for people with low back pain that has lasted more than three months. Half of the participants in the study will receive physical therapy from physical therapists that have received additional training in an educational technique. In order to determine if there is a difference in patient outcome when the educational technique is used, you will be asked to complete five short surveys before receiving physical therapy (10 minutes total). A sample of the physical therapy sessions using the educational technique will be videotaped. The videotape will be of the physical therapist to prove they did use the educational technique, not of you the participant in the study. You will remain anonymous and will not be used and the tape will not be used for publication or presentation purposes. You will also be asked to complete one survey after participating in physical therapy (2 minutes), and all five short surveys (10 minutes total) six weeks after your last physical therapy session. You will be put in one of 2 groups by chance (as in the flip of a coin). A computerized selection process will be used to assign participants to the study. You will not know if you are in the study group or the non-study group.
