Brief summary (from the registry)
This study aims to evaluate the effects of adding Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) to motor control exercises in individuals with chronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) who also present with central sensitization. The study focuses on changes in pain intensity, pain-related factors, trunk muscle activation, gait, functionality, kinesiophobia, and quality of life.
