Aims and objectives: The aim of the study will be to find the comparative effects of group based exercises with and without cognitive functional therapy on clinical outcome in patients with chronic low back pain. Methodology: This study will be Randomized controlled trial. The subjects will be selected through Probability Purposive Sampling.Sample will be 40 calculated by the rao-soft with 20 percent chances of drop out. The participants will be taken from Mujahid hospital, Faisal Hospital and Madina teaching hospital. Participants will be assessed by using Oswestry Disability index and Numerical Pain Rating Scale NPRS for low back pain. Participants will be randomly allocated into two groups.One group will be treated with CFT and group based exercises and one with only group exercises. And at the end, data will be analyzed by using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS).
