Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Non-specific cLBP that has persisted for at least 3 months and has resulted in pain on at least half the days in the past 6 months.

Exclusion:

* Low back pain that is attributable to other factors such as ankylosing spondylitis, infection, malignancy, compression fracture of other trauma.
* Systemic rheumatic disease/condition (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, fibromyalgia).
* Any other chronic pain condition that the participant believes to be more prominent or severe than the low back pain.
* A history of clinically significant surgery to the low back within the past year.
* Uncontrolled hypertension (i.e. SBP/DBP of \> 150/95), cardiovascular or peripheral arterial disease.
* Poorly controlled diabetes (HbA1c \> 8%).
* Neurological disease (e.g. Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy).
