Abstract

The article discusses the challenges faced in managing chronic low back pain in primary care settings. It mentions that the guidelines discourage drug therapies, procedures, and surgery, leaving clinicians with limited options such as exercise and psychological therapies. It also mentions that the RESTORE trial shows promising results with cognitive functional therapy (CFT) but highlights the need for scalable training methods for clinicians, and quality control to ensure its effectiveness.
