• Conditions: assessment of pain, quality of life, disability, fear related to pain in patients with chronic low back pain

Brief Summary

Numerous studies have been done tofind out the effectiveness of pain neuroscience education in patients withchronic low back pain combined with other treatment techniques. But there is lack of evidence showing use of pain neuroscience education withexercise protocol (stretching and strengthening) in patients with chronic lowback pain. Also the effectiveness of these protocols combined with painneuroscience education cannot be judged because of the absence of a controlgroup.  Most of the studies are done inthe western countries and other parts of the world, but studies are lacking inIndia. Thus, a very strong need arises to find out the combined effect of painneuroscience education with exercises in comparison to pain neuroscienceeducation and exercises alone on pain intensity, disability, quality of lifeand fear associated in patients with chronic low back pain.
