Summary
This study tests whether adding sensory discrimination training to pain neuroscience education and core exercises can reduce pain catastrophizing and fear of movement in 80 adults with chronic low back pain. Participants will attend sessions twice a week for eight weeks. The goal is to see if the combined approach improves how they think about pain and move their bodies.
