Pain education and back exercises for chronic low back pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a combination of two non-drug treatments for chronic low back pain: pain neuroscience education (learning about how pain works) and lumbar stabilization exercises (strengthening the muscles that support your spine). The goal is to reduce disability and the fear of movement that often comes with chronic pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a program that combines learning about how pain works with specific exercises to help people who have had low back pain for at least 3 months and are sensitive to pain. The goal is to reduce pain and improve daily function.
This study compares two types of exercise programs for chronic low back pain—one focusing on muscle control and the other on strengthening specific muscles. It aims to see which approach improves function and reduces pain more effectively.
This study tests a home-based exercise and rehabilitation program for people with long-term low back pain. The goal is to see if these exercises can reduce pain and improve function.
This study compares how well different pain treatments reduce low back pain and improve daily life. You may be asked to start or continue care through the VA and attend in-person sessions while completing pain and activity questionnaires.
This trial tests a stabilization training program using biofeedback (a device that shows you how your muscles are working) to treat chronic low back pain. It may help you strengthen the muscles supporting your spine and reduce your pain.
This study tests a type of teaching called pain neuroscience education, which helps people understand how their brain and body process pain, to see if it reduces pain and fear of movement in people with long-lasting low back pain.
