Detailed Description

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

Nonspecific chronic low back pain is a common condition that can have a significant impact on patient's daily lives and beliefs. Patients often believe that there is a strong relationship between structural changes in the lower back, pain, and activities of daily living. Patients with nonspecific low back pain may have lower expectations for recovery because they tend to believe that their condition is chronic and unlikely to improve significantly. Patients' beliefs and perceptions of their condition can influence the clinical management of low back pain. Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK), Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ), and The Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) are commonly used in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain. The common feature of these scales is that they evaluate issues such as pain perception, pain-related beliefs, and pain coping strategies. The use of these scales can provide important information to better respond to individuals' needs in pain management and rehabilitation processes. However, the minimal clinical relevance and answerability of the surveys were not explicitly discussed in the search results. Further research is needed to investigate the clinical consequences of fear-avoidance beliefs and their potential impact on treatment outcomes for patients with chronic low back pain.

Interventions

Learn about the drugs, procedures, or behavioral strategies being tested and how they are applied within this trial.

Traditional therapy

All participants will receive a 60-minute individual treatment program consisting of 16 sessions of routine physiotherapy aimed at reducing pain and improving function over four weeks. These treatments are already the patient's routine physiotherapy modalities. No changes will be made to the study.

Since the questionnaires to be used in the study are related to fear of movement and pain, neuroscience education will be included in the treatment program of the patients. Patients will be informed about proper posture and movement regarding fear of movement and pain avoidance behaviors.
