About the study

This research is studying whether changing an individual's behaviors may have an impact as a treatment or outcome for chronic low back pain. This research will try to understand how much an electronic, self-management website like PainGuide can help participants.

The study hypothesizes that tailored digital interventions (plus using PainGuide) will demonstrate greater improvement in pain interference.
