Overview
Brief Summary
Manual therapy are among the therapeutic approaches frequently used in chronic low back pain (CLBP). Although most clinicians conduct patient education according biomedical model of pain, a relatively new approach which is referred to as neuroscience pain education (NPE) is promising in patients with CLBP. Therefore the aim of this study was to investigate whether NPE in patients with CLBP who treated via manual therapy technique will produce different outcomes in terms of pain severity and QoL compared to traditional patient education.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Quality of Life (QOL): Turkish Short form-36 (SF-36) questionnaire
Time Frame: Change from Baseline SF-36 at 4th weeks.
All patients additionally completed Turkish Short form-36 (SF-36) questionnaire, 36-item generic self-administered instrument that consists of eight subscales relating to various aspects of the QoL: physical functioning, physical role, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, emotional role and mental health. The eight subscales are scored from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better health status
Secondary Outcomes
- Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)(Change from Baseline NPRS at 4th weeks.)
