In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This observational study will examine whether signs of increased sensitivity in the nervous system at the beginning of the study are associated with short-term clinical outcomes in adults with chronic nonspecific low back pain. Approximately 180 participants will complete questionnaires about central sensitization, disability, pain, anxiety, and depression at the beginning of the study. After 6 weeks, disability, pain, and the participant's overall perception of change will be assessed again. The researchers will evaluate whether the initial level of central sensitization is associated with meaningful improvement in disability and perceived treatment benefit. Participants will not be assigned to a treatment as part of this study and will continue to receive routine clinical care.
