Telerehabilitation in Managing Chronic Low Back Pain

The purpose of this study is to determine whether telerehabilitation is as effective as in-person rehabilitation in treating patients with chronic back pain in actual clinical practice settings.T he study will recruit eighty-four individuals with chronic LBP, who will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: telerehabilitation (TR) or the control group, who will receive standard clinic therapy. The TR group will be treated remotely via phone calls and the Zoom platform. The intervention program will be customized according to the requirements and abilities of each patient. It will include self-management skills, education and support, including Pain Neuroscience Education , and customized exercises.
