Comparison of supervised exercise therapy with or without biopsychosocial approach for chronic nonspecific low back pain: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A biopsychosocial rehabilitation is recommended for chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNLBP); however, its effectiveness compared to the traditional supervised exercise therapy of CNLBP treatment is still unclear.
