Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Physical exercise has a fundamental position in the chronic low back pain treatment. However, the physical activity level is often low in these patients and the adherence to the care program is not enough in the long term. The French Evaluation of the Perception of Physical Activity (EPPA) is a valid and reliable questionnaire, developed by N. Coste et al in 2020, that assesses the perceived barriers to and facilitators of physical activity in patients with knee osteoarthritis. To our knowledge, there is no valid and reliable instrument allowing such an assessment in chronic low back pain.

The main objective of this study is to adapt the EPPA to chronic low back pain and to evaluate its psychometric properties.

This validation would allow its use in current practice to adapt the care strategy, to personalize rehabilitation of each patient with chronic low back pain in order to have a better adherence to rehabilitation programs.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The EPPA was adapted to chronic low back pain and named EPPA-LOMB. It comprises 26 items.

Patients with chronic low back pain will be recruited during a medical consultation in the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department of the University Hospital of Clermont-Ferrand and the Notre-Dame Functional Rehabilitation Center of Chamalières (France); or the first day of a functional spine rehabilitation program (3-week program in a day hospital) in the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department of the University Hospital of Clermont-Ferrand.

Patients will be asked to complete a series of questionnaires after completing the non-opposition form. The management of non-specific chronic low back pain also requires evaluation through questionnaires, in accordance with the usual practices of the services participating in the study. No intervention will be taken.

All patients will complete questionnaires at inclusion.

Patients included during a medical consultation will receive an e-mail to complete online the EPPA-LOMB and visual analogic scales on pain and level of physical activity, 7 days after inclusion.

Patients included the first day of a functional spine rehabilitation program will complete questionnaires at the end of the program, 21 days after inclusion. They will be seen 3 months after their discharge during a follow-up medical consultation and will complete another time the questionnaires. Only patients not included in the study E-lombactifs (NCT04264949) will complete the questionnaire at 3 months.
