Brief summary

Objective: To determine the influence of a counseling of physical activity (PA) versus usual care (UC) in the magnitude of chronic pain (CP) in patients diagnosed with chronic low back pain (CLBP). Methods: A total of 64 subjects with (CLBP) and older were randomly divided into two groups: an experimental group (UC) + counseling of (AF) and control group (UC). Each group consisted of 32 participants and were evaluated twice (pre and post-intervention), being spaced one month, both groups received telephone follow-up for their participation. The primary endpoint was the magnitude of the (CP) measured by the tool grading scale of chronic pain (EGDC), while as secondary were considered the cardiovascular risk factors, catastrophism, kinesiofobia, disabled by back pain, quality of life, anxiety and depression and the (FA).
