Predictive Variables of Outcome in Subjects With Chronic Rachialgia Referred to Different Pathways of Physiotherapy: Multicenter Prospective Study

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying people with chronic non-specific low back pain or neck pain who are undergoing public health rehabilitation. The study aims to find out which biopsychosocial factors can predict how well patients recover and to check the reliability of certain patient questionnaires used to evaluate spinal pain. These questionnaires have not yet had their measurement properties fully established in this population. Participants will take part in two main assessment sessions: one before starting rehabilitation and one after completing it. There is also a re-test session immediately before rehabilitation to evaluate questionnaire reliability in stable patients. Follow-up assessments occur at 3 and 6 months after discharge to monitor ongoing outcomes. During the study, participants will complete various questionnaires and scales related to disability, pain intensity, quality of life, pain awareness, sleep quality, and medication use. Researchers will measure key outcomes such as the Neck Disability Index and Roland and Morris Disability Questionnaire at multiple time points. This study will help understand which factors influence recovery and how well the questionnaires perform over time.
