Brief summary (from the registry)
This randomized controlled trial aims to investigate whether the use of an attention distraction application during exercise increases patient adherence to exercise programs in chronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP). In addition, the study will examine whether higher adherence to exercise leads to improved outcomes in pain levels, functional capacity, kinesiophobia, quality of life, central sensitization, and pain catastrophizing.
