Brief Summary

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

This study will include patients aged 18-65 with subacute or chronic mechanical low back pain who apply to the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinic. The age, gender, body mass index, duration of low back pain, smoking status, and educational status of the patients included in the study will be recorded. Patients will be randomized into two groups: the study group and the control group. First, the psychosocial risk status of patients in both groups will be determined using the STarT Back Screening Tool. Then, patients in the control group will undergo a conventional physical therapy program that includes hot packs, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, ultrasound, and core stabilization exercises. Patients in the study group will undergo daily close follow-up physician-patient meetings during the sessions, in addition to the conventional physical therapy program applied to the control group. Clinical assessments will be performed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia, Pain Catastrophizing Scale, Beck's Depression Scale, Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire, and Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs. Clinical evaluations will be conducted at baseline, on Day 5 post-treatment, and at 1 month post-treatment.
