About this trial

The main aim of this study was to evaluate the medium-term efficacy of an intervention involving personalized, automated text messaging (SMS), following face-to-face rehabilitation sessions, on activity limitation in people with chronic low back pain. We hypothesize that personalized SMS follow-up, following face-to-face rehabilitation sessions, could reduce activity limitation in people with chronic low back pain. Prospective multicenter randomized controlled trial.

Participants in both groups, experimental and comparator will have 4 face-to-face multidisciplinary rehabilitation sessions.

Participants in the 2 groups will have a face-to-face medical-kinesthetic clinical consultation at M3.

Participants in the experimental group will be monitored by personalized SMS messages over 6 months.
