The goal is to undertake a Decentralized Randomized Pilot Feasibility study to inform the methods for a definitive Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) (including recruitment success, participant experience, intervention delivery, safety, outcome measurement and sample size estimation). The main question is if the methods used are feasible for an adequately powered future RCT. Participants will be randomly allocated to receive either: Intervention - OldPain2Go® treatment or Placebo Control - Jacobson's progressive relaxation
The project is a virtual Randomized Control Trial and the independent variable is OldPain2Go® a novel brief intervention for people with chronic low back pain. The investigators aim to answer the research question: Is OldPain2Go® an effective intervention for pain and function in people with chronic low back pain - when applied in an adequately powered RCT comparing OldPain2Go® with placebo? The Intervention arm participants will receive OldPain2Go® and the Control arm participants will receive Jacobson's progressive relaxation, as a placebo. The Control (placebo) is a commonly used element of treatment, for a wide range of conditions, but is never applied only once (or twice) as a treatment.

|---|---|---|---|
| Oldpain2go® | Experimental | This is a concept of dealing with a client in a way that uses their conscious mind to alter their unconscious automated programs (chronic pain) that are troubling them. |
|
| Jacobson's progressive relaxation | Placebo Comparator | Jacobson's progressive relaxation is used in a range of conditions to relieve muscle tension and stress as part of self-management. |

| Oldpain2go® | Other | OldPain2Go® is a non-medical intervention for the treatment of chronic pain conditions including, but not limited to Chronic Low Back Pain. The underlying premise is rooted in the biopsychosocial model of pain, where the cause of ongoing pain and the development of chronicity, is believed to lie beyond simple tissue damage, injury or malfunction. The intervention draws upon subconscious communication as a means to help patients to re-frame their pain as less threatening and remove old, out of date, pain messages that no longer serve a purpose. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| 0-10 Numeric Rating Scale for Pain Intensity | A standard measure in most pain studies. Participants are asked to rate their pain on a 0-10 scale with 0 being no pain and 10 being worst imaginable pain. A higher score means greater pain. An increase in score, over time, means an increase in pain and a worse outcome. | Change measures at six time points, baseline, immediately after treatment, 1 week and 2, 4 and 12 weeks from baseline. |
| The Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire | A standard measure used in most low back pain studies to measure the degree of a person's disability. It is a 24 item, closed question, self-completed questionnaire. Each item is scored as zero or one and the minimum score is zero and maximum is 24. A higher score means greater self-rated physical disability caused by low back pain. An increase in score, over time, means an increase in self-rated physical disability caused by low back pain and a worse outcome. | Change measures at five time points, baseline, 1 week and 2, 4 and 12 weeks from baseline |

| Jacobson's progressive relaxation | Other | Jacobson's progressive relaxation is a technique commonly used for eliciting the relaxation response and relieving muscular tension. It involves sequentially relaxing various muscle groups, often starting at the head and moving down the body to the feet. |
