Brief summary (from the registry)
Chronic low back pain is among the most common health problems seen in primary care, and is responsible for disability and absenteeism in our country. In most cases, it is attributed to a non-specific cause and classified as non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP). Taking into consideration that multidimensional programs usually present more effectiveness reducing pain than unimodal programs, the current research investigates the role of unexplored multidimensional program (exercise and mindfulness) in NSCLBP. The primary aim of this project is to determine the effectiveness of a supervised exercise program (intervention 1) and a supervised exercise program + mindfulness (intervention 2) on pain, disability, trunk muscle endurance/strength, quality of life and gait parameters in patients with NSCLBP.
