Brief summary (from the registry)
Although education on neurophysiology of pain improves disability, there are limited effects in pain intensity. Hypnosis is an approach that has proven useful in pain intensity and psychosocial aspects in some chronic pain conditions, but there is insufficient evidence of its contribution in patients with chronic non specific low back pain. The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy of combining education on neurophysiology of pain and hypnosis in patients with chronic non specific low back pain in pain and disability outcomes.
