Predictive Variables of Outcome in Subjects With Chronic Rachialgia Referred to Different Pathways of Physiotherapy.

Predictive Variables of Outcome in Subjects With Chronic Rachialgia Referred to Different Pathways of Physiotherapy: Multicenter Prospective Study

The aim of this study is to investigate the predictive value of various biopsychosocial variables on the outcomes of subjects with chronic spinal pain undergoing public health rehabilitation pathways. Secondly, the study aims to assess the reliability of certain questionnaires, classified as Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs), which are frequently used in the evaluation of spinal pain but whose metric properties have not yet been established. These objectives will be pursued through two comprehensive assessment sessions (before and after rehabilitation), a re-test session immediately before rehabilitation (to evaluate the reliability of the questionnaires in stable subjects), and two follow-up assessments at 3 and 6 months after discharge.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Age of majority;
• Medical diagnosis of nonspecific low back pain or nonspecific neck pain;
• Chronic symptoms, present for at least 6 months;
• Waiting for rehabilitation in a public health pathways
• Signature of informed consent to participate in the study and processing of personal data.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Subjects with cognitive impairment
