Oldpain2go®: an Exploratory (Pre-Feasibility) Study.

Research question: Is there any evidence to suggest that the oldpain2go® intervention merits scientific investigation?

Aims:

1. To collect data to:

   1. give an indication of the potential effect size, of any effects, from the oldpain2go® intervention, in people with persistent low back pain.
   2. to explore the eligibility criteria, recruitment methods and materials proposed here, for potential use in a future Feasibility study, of the oldpain2go® intervention.

2. To compare demographic characteristics, medical history and outcome measure data of:

   1. people for whom Oldpain2go® is indicated (at the Oldpain2go® screening session), with those for whom it is not,
   2. people for whom the Oldpain2go® intervention works, after one treatment, with those for whom it does not, and
   3. people for whom the Oldpain2go® intervention works, after one, or two, treatments, with those for whom it does not work after two treatments.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Currently suffering from persistent, non-specific, low back pain
