Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The primary objective of this study is to assess participant recruitment, retention, and adherence while identifying any logistical challenges encountered during the implementation of the intervention. The investigators will gather preliminary data on its effectiveness by measuring changes in pain intensity, functional disability, psychological flexibility, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL).
In addition to quantitative measures, the investigators will conduct qualitative interviews and focus groups to explore participants' lived experiences, identifying facilitators and barriers to engagement. By integrating art therapy-an approach that promotes emotional expression and coping strategies-this study seeks to provide a holistic method for pain management, ultimately enhancing the HRQoL of individuals affected by CLBP.
The successful implementation of this pilot RCT may yield critical insights that can inform a larger-scale definitive RCT, paving the way for innovative, interdisciplinary strategies in chronic pain management and improving community health outcomes. This research not only aims to validate a new therapeutic approach but also aspires to create a supportive environment for individuals grappling with the challenges of CLBP.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Expressive art therapy group
One hour of expressive art intervention, followed by exercise training.
Art therapy combined with Exercise
one hour of expressive art intervention followed by one hour of exercise training. The art therapy will be conducted in small groups of eight participants, facilitated by a part-time registered expressive art therapist. Each session begins with a 5-minute introduction and check-in, welcoming participants and inviting them to share their current status. This is followed by a 10-minute brief mindfulness exercise to help center participants and promote relaxation, setting the stage for the creative activities that follow. The core of each session consists of a 20-minute art-making process centered around specific themes that guide participants in exploring their pain and personal narratives.
Exercise group
The control group will participate in one hour of exercises focused on progressive back strengthening and general reconditioning, supplemented with education on back care to promote self-management of low back pain
Exercise
each one-hour session in the exercise control group will involve progressive back and general reconditioning exercises, along with back care education to support self-management of LBP.
