Non-specific Chronic Lower Back Pain Clinical Trial
Official title:
What Are the Brakes and Levers of Physical Activity Practice for Patients With Chronic Lower Back Pain : a Qualitative Study
Non-specific chronic lower back pain is a common pathology which is a real public health
problem. Around 84% of the population could have non-specific chronic lower back pain at
least once in their lives and 8% of that non-specific lower back pain could become chronical
(pain that would last at least 3 months). This proportion of patients represents 85% of the
costs related to this pathology.
Physical activity practice is involved in medical care for plenty of chronical diseases and
particularly for chronic lower back pain. In 2003, World Health Organization pointed out the
poor adhesion of patients with chronical diseases to medical prescriptions and the
after-effects it could have on illness evolution. Therefore, adhesion to physical activity
practice for patients with chronic lower back pain is one of the most challenging matters
for medical teams.
The aim of this study was to identify the brakes and levers of physical activity practice
for these patients. Sixteen individual interviews and four focus groups have been carried
out on patients with chronic lower back pain who were taken care of either by a rachis
functional restoration program or by primary care.
