Abstract

Introduction: Low back pain is one of the most widespread public health problems faced in the world. The access to evidence-based treatment, such as pain neuroscience education and therapeutic exercises, is often limited due to numerous barriers.
Objective: To develop an intervention protocol that uses a pain education program associated with therapeutic exercise for the treatment of chronic low back pain, through telerehabilitation.
Method: This protocol describes an experimental design of the type controlled clinical trial, randomized with evaluator and blinded statistician.
Discussion: Our hypothesis is that the telerehabilitation program will benefit patients with chronic low back pain, surprising pain intensity, improving function and psychological factors.
