Brief summary (from the registry)
Patients with chronic low back pain may have altered pain processing, making them vulnerable to pain or disability. It can be measured with test like pressure pain threshold, temporal summation or conditioned pain modulation. Manual therapy has shown improve this pain processing variables in other conditions (like knee osteoarthritis or lateral elbow pain), although the quality of the evidence is low in terms of temporal summation and controversial in terms of conditioned pain modulation. There are not studies that had investigated the impact of manual therapy techniques on pain processing in patients with chronic low back pain.
