Summary
The present feasibility study aims to evaluate the feasibility and adequacy of a multidisciplinary treatment program as a therapeutic option for patients with chronic low back pain referred to the pain unit of the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona. Secondarily, the present study will also evaluate the effect on pain-related outcomes to estimate the number of needed participants for a full trial.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Is the proposed multidisciplinary treatment feasible and adequate for chronic low back pain patients?
* Is the proposed multidisciplinary treatment effective in improving pain-related outcomes?
Participants will receive either usual care (pharmacological control) or eight multidisciplinary sessions within two months, composed of therapeutic patient education, mindfulness relaxation, cognitive-behavioural therapy and therapeutic exercise. Besides, participants will be assessed using written questionnaires before and after treatment and two months after treatment.
Researchers will assess the feasibility of the multidisciplinary treatment group and will compare both groups to see if there is any difference in several pain-related outcomes.
