Summary

The main objective of this randomized controlled pilot trial is to investigate the efficacy of a 4-week multidisciplinary intervention for patients with chronic non-specific low back pain, combining a therapeutic exercise program in physiotherapy and a psychological intervention focused on positive body image in pain intensity, pain interference, emotional distress, kinesophobia and pain catastrophization. Both components are designed to operate in parallel over a 4-week period. The physiotherapy component consists of a therapeutic exercise program of 8 sessions, performed with virtual reality (VR) manipulating visual proprioceptive information during all lumbar movements in the different therapeutic exercises. The psychological positive body image-based intervention consists of 4 sessions approaching 5 different clinical modules: Pain Psychoeducation, Body Awareness, Pain Acceptance, Body Appreciation and Functionality and Gratitude. 2 sessions (Body Awareness and Pain Acceptancce) will include virtual reality environments to enhance the clinical outcomes.

Enhanced Virtual reality

This study evaluates a 4-week multidisciplinary intervention for patients with chronic non-specific low back pain, combining physiotherapy and psychological approaches. Both components leverage virtual reality (VR) technology to address physical and psychological aspects of pain management, operating in parallel to maximize patient outcomes. The physiotherapy intervention consists of a therapeutic exercise program based on the principles of the "Back School". Over 8 sessions (2 per week), patients perform VR-guided exercises where visual-proprioceptive information is manipulated. The psychological positive body image-based intervention consists of 4 sessions approaching 5 different clinical modules: Pain Psychoeducation, Body Awareness, Pain Acceptance, Body Appreciation and Functionality and Gratitude. 2 sessions (Body Awareness and Pain Acceptancce) will include virtual reality environments to enhance the clinical outcomes.
