Brief Summary  

Numerous studies have been done to find out the effectiveness of pain neuroscience education in patients with chronic low back pain combined with other treatment techniques. But there is lack of evidence showing use of pain neuroscience education with exercise protocol (stretching and strengthening) in patients with chronic low back pain. Also the effectiveness of these protocols combined with pain neuroscience education cannot be judged because of the absence of a control group.  Most of the studies are done in the western countries and other parts of the world, but studies are lacking in India. Thus, a very strong need arises to find out the combined effect of pain neuroscience education with exercises in comparison to pain neuroscience education and exercises alone on pain intensity, disability, quality of life and fear associated in patients with chronic low back pain.
