What this Trial Is About
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effectiveness of two treatments for adults with chronic low back pain. The main question this study seeks to answer is "In adults with chronic low back pain, what is the effectiveness of pain education and patient-led goal setting compared to guideline-based written advice on reducing pain intensity and disability?". A total of 392 participants will be randomised into two groups: 1) pain education and patient-led goal setting or 2) guideline-based written advice. Participants randomised to the pain education and patient-led goal setting group will receive 5 sessions of 45-60 min each over 8 weeks delivered online via telehealth. Participants randomised to written advice group will receive information developed for people with chronic low back pain. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline and week 8, 26 and 52.
