Summary

This study aims of to investigate whether combining cognitive training to exercise and Pain Neuroscience Education will contribute to reduction of pain and associated symptoms (i.e., catastrophizing, fear of movement, disability) in individuals with low back pain (LBP).

Detailed description

This study aims of to investigate whether combining cognitive training to exercise and Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) will contribute to reduction of pain and associated symptoms (i.e., catastrophizing, fear of movement, disability) in individuals with low back pain (LBP). It will have three arms of which will receive exercise, PNE and/or cognitive training for 8 weeks (Group I - exercise and PNE; Group II - exercise, PNE and cognitive training; Group III - cognitive training). Participants will be assessed for pain characteristics, psychological, and cognitive aspects at baseline, post-intervention and at 3 months follow-up.
