Brief summary

This is a prospective, single-encounter, observational online survey of male and female adults who have chronic low back pain. The main objective is to evaluate the different types of pain experienced using a validated pain questionnaire, and also, respondent satisfaction with different types of pain management experienced by participants who have low back pain.

Interventions

The study will be performed online after a participant is invited to respond and consents to the information being gathered. The survey will be made aware to the population using a patient recruitment service that will advertise the study via facebook, instagram, google, etc. The questionnaire will ask questions about the pain the participant is currently experiencing, how they have previously managed and currently manage their pain, the success they have experienced with their current management strategies as well as their interest in learning about future research. Examples of the questions are - where on your body do you suffer pain, what score out of 10 would you rate your pain, what medication types and non-medication therapies do you use to control your pain and how long have you suffered with your pain. It should take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete the questionnaire.
