Summary

This trial will test whether or not limiting complaints can help with pain and PC in individuals with LBP who are in a state of CS.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with non-specific low back pain that seems out of proportion to any injury, feels unpredictable or widespread, and might be linked to psychological stress. It's not for those whose pain is sharp with movement, clearly tied to a specific area or injury, involves nerve issues, disturbs sleep significantly, or could be due to something other than musculoskeletal problems.
What is being tested?
The study tests if restricting how much patients with low back pain and central sensitization complain about their pain can affect the intensity of their discomfort and their tendency to catastrophize (exaggerate) the seriousness of their pain.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves behavioral changes rather than medication or surgery, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience emotional or psychological responses from altering how they express pain.
