Clinical Trial Summary

This study compares the effect of multidimensional physiotherapy to usual evidence-based physiotherapy in the treatment of chronic nonspecific low back pain in adults. Half of the participants will receive multidimensional physiotherapy based on biopsychosocial approach while the other half will receive usual evidence based physiotherapy.

Description:

multidimensional physiotherapy treatment include: psychoeducation based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), education, graded exposure, postural correction exercise, lifestyle change, and electrotherapy. usual evidence-based physiotherapy include: electrotherapy, education, and trunk general exercises.
