Brief summary (from the registry)
This observational study aims to compare measures of sensory nerve function between chronic low back pain patients matched for baseline pain and disability levels who are then classified as responders or non-responders after completing a 12-week tailored exercise program. Measures collected include sural sensory nerve conduction, quantitative sensory testing for pressure and heat pain thresholds, and psychosocial questionnaires. It is hypothesized that baseline sensory nerve dysfunction may be associated with reduced response to exercise therapy in chronic low back pain.
