Low Back Pain is a common heath condition with high rates of recurrence and huge associated costs. Research has focused its efforts on analysing the effects of interventions while knowledge about effective secondary prevention strategies is limited. MyBack study aims to analyse the effectiveness of a tailored exercise and behavioural change program (MyBack program) in the secondary prevention of low back pain, and evaluate acceptability, feasibility and determinants of implementation by the different stakeholders, as well as the implementation strategy of the MyBack program, through a hybrid type I, randomized, controlled and multicentre study of effectiveness and implementation in the context of primary health care.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Usual Care | Other | Participants allocated to the usual care group will be informed that they can access their GP in the usual way (GPs consultation, pain medication, referral for other treatments/ services) and that they should contact their GP if their condition worsens. In addition, they will receive a minimal educational intervention focused on symptom management and promotion of physical activity ("stay active"). |
|
| MyBack | Experimental | Patients in the MyBack group will participate in a patient-centred, tailored exercise programme informed by a behavioural change approach in addition to receiving usual care. The MyBack intervention programme will consist of 12 bi-weekly sessions (60 minutes each) over 6 weeks complemented by 12 exercise sessions to be carried out autonomously by the participants over the following 6 weeks |
