Patients with chronic pain are often symptomatic even in the absence of tissue damage. This is a major reason patients need to be educated about their pain.

If patients understand that the pain they are experiencing may not be a true indication of the health of their tissues, they may experience less fear of their pain, and may be able to return to previous activities.

Subjects : Participants (2 males, 5 females mean age 38.3 years) who had been experiencing low back pain for >1 year and did not have a current exacerb...
