Brief Summary The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if MUSIC CARE©, a music-based therapy tool, can improve the physical abilities of people with chronic low back pain (back pain that lasts more than 3 months).
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does MUSIC CARE© help participants better perform their daily activities? Does MUSIC CARE© lower the fear of movement in participants? Does MUSIC CARE© help participants return to work?
Why this study? Chronic low back pain is a leading cause of disability and absence from work. Physical rehabilitation is the recommended treatment. However, many participants develop a fear of movement. This fear slows down their recovery and limits the benefits of rehabilitation.
MUSIC CARE© is a digital music tool. It uses specially designed music to help participants relax and feel less pain. Researchers believe that using MUSIC CARE© before rehabilitation sessions may help participants move more freely and recover better.
How does the study work?
Researchers will compare two groups of participants:
Group 1: follows a standard rehabilitation program with MUSIC CARE© Group 2: follows a standard rehabilitation program without MUSIC CARE© This comparison will show whether MUSIC CARE© brings added benefits.
Participants will:
Take part in a rehabilitation program for 5 to 6 weeks Use MUSIC CARE© before each therapy session (Group 1 only). Complete questionnaires about their pain, fear of movement, and ability to perform daily activities.
Be followed for 6 months after the program ends, including an assessment of their return to work.
What could this study change? If results are positive, this study could confirm that MUSIC CARE© is a useful non-drug tool to support rehabilitation for people with chronic low back pain. It could help bring this approach into standard care programs, with no additional medication.

Participants receive a daily 20-minute receptive music session using the MUSIC CARE© device before each rehabilitation session throughout the 5-to-6-week day hospital stay. Seated comfortably in a dedicated room with headphones, participants listen to a personalized "U-sequence" (induction, deep relaxation, awakening phases). They then proceed to the standard multidisciplinary rehabilitation program, including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, adapted physical activity, and psychomotricity.
Participants receive the standard multidisciplinary rehabilitation program for chronic low back pain over 5 to 6 weeks, including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, adapted physical activity, and psychomotricity. The program progresses from assessment and motor control work to trunk strengthening and preparation for professional reintegration. No music-based intervention is added.
