Brief Summary

Supported self-management (SM) is one of the key recommendations in management of chronic low back pain (CLBP). SM programmes for patients with CLBP have failed to show clinically meaningful improvement in pain and disability markers, which potentially reflect the lack of treatment matching of SM programmes. Patient selection for a SM programme for patients with CLBP is particularly difficult due to lack of extensive research on what predicts SM and its change. The overarching purpose of this study is to identify predictors of SM and its change over time in patients with CLBP. This study is a prospective non-experimental longitudinal study.
