Summary

Unspecific low back pain (LBP) is a major world wide health problem. The purpose of this study is to improve the care of LBP.

Our hypothesis is that Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with physical intervention during group sessions focusing on fear and avoidance behaviour will be more effective than physical therapy alone.

The study has two arms. Both will receive education related to LBP and appropriate advice regarding how to react and behave towards their LBP.

The main focus in the intervention group will be:

* Identifying their fear of movements and perform the frightened movements during the group sessions.
* Reassuring that gradually normalizing daily activities will not be harmful but rather reduce their pain.

Conditions

  • Low Back Pain

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Arm 2: CBGT-ISE
