Brief Summary  

This study will be carried out at human performance laboratory and out patient department, centre for physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Sciences (CPRS), Jamia Millia Islamia. Subjects with Chronic low back pain will be recruited on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria and informed about the study. Subject will be explained the purpose and the possible risks of the study. They will be given an informed consent explaining their rights as research subjects (According to Helsinki declaration,1964). Following the screening, demographics including age, height, weight, and BMI as well as clinical characteristics such as Numeric pain rating scale, Oswestry disability questionnaire, Mc gill pain quessionnaire, central sensitization Inventory, PSQI for sleep quality, the cognitive assessment will be done by using Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) (subjective) and Event related potential P300 (objective) will be assessed. Posture analysis will be done by using Gait On posture analysis device. After assessing the baseline criterion measures, the participants will be further randomly allocated to one of the three interventions groups: (I) Conventional treatment (Lumbar stabilization exercises, hot pack and  IFT) (II) Pain science education group (conventional treatment with pain science education).  The intervention will be given for 6 weeks period. The outcome variables will be assessed at baseline and after a period of 6 weeks.
