Brief summary (from the registry)

The study will be carried out at the Faculty of Nursing and Physiotherapy of the University of Alcalá. The study has been approved by the Animal Research and Experimentation Ethics Committee of the University of Alcalá. A total of 46 subjects of legal age with non-specific chronic low back pain will be selected and randomized into two interventions. The first group will receive lumbar posteroanterior mobilizations with the lumbar spine in extension and the second group will receive lumbar mobilizations with neutral position of the spine. Both groups will also receive a home exercise program for the lumbar spine. The total duration of the treatments will be 6 weeks, with pre-treatment, at 3 weeks of the treatment, post-treatment evaluations at 6 weeks, with a follow-up after 1 month and with a follow-up after 3 months. The objective will be to evaluate which of the two interventions is more effective in addressing disability variables (main variable), pressure pain threshold, pain location, pain intensity, quality of life, quality of sleep, depression and kinesiophobia.
