Brief summary (from the registry)
A randomized controlled trial of the efficacy of classification based cognitive functional physiotherapy according to the system proposed by Peter O'Sullivan as compared to manual therapy and exercise in patients with non specific chronic low back pain. The investigators hypothesis was that treatment targeted at the mechanism behind the problem from a multidimensional perspective would be superior to traditional treatment.
