Interventions
The estimated sample was 80 participants. Eligible participants will be randomized by a researcher who will not be involved in the recruitment and evaluation process, using an allocation ratio of 1: 1
Control Group (CG), which will only be submitted to physical training sessions by the solo pilates method.
The Pain Neuroscience Education sessions will be taught by a gerontologist with 4 years of tr

Eligibility
Age
60 Years to 85 Years
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Participants will be recruited from the municipality of São Carlos through advertisements in the community and media. Individuals aged 60 years or older with non- specific chronic low back pain who score the minimum score according to schooling in the Mini Mental State Examination MMSE and do not present depressive symptoms in the Geriatric Depression Scale GDS-15.For the classification of chronic pain was used the criteria of the International Association for the Study of Pain IASP, which recommends that, for research, the chronicity of pain is defined as lasting more than six months (IASP, 2015).
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: All older people that have undergone physical therapy for pain management within 6 months prior to the intervention, or undergone surgical treatment for CLBP were excluded, involvement in regular sports activities that have the same physical benefits as Pilates, such as improved muscle strength and stretching. Those with diagnosis of central sensitization syndromes (such as fibromyalgia), cancer and active inflammatory diseases, or with pain associated to previous spine or lower limbs fracture, and those that already regularly performed physical activities with therapeutic aims of stretching and strengthening similar to Pilates will be excluded.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It's expected that all variables in both groups will be improved, but it will be more significant in the Education Group, after the application of Pain Neuroscience Education. Presentation of expected outcome: Pain Catastrophization. Presentation of the method used to verify the outcome: Pain Catastrophization Scale. Presentation of the parameters: There is no clinically important minimal difference established for this scale. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Presentation of expected outcome: Intensity of pain. Presentation of the method used to verify the outcome: Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Numerical Pain Scale. Presentation of the parameters: The clinically important minimum difference for the Visual Analogue Scale (EVA) is 15 millimeters. A change of 2 points is considered clinically relevant in Numerical Pain Scale. ;Presentation of expected outcome: Kinesiophobia. Presentation of the method used to verify the outcome: Kinesiophobia TAMPA scale. Presentation of the parameters: There is no clinically important minimal difference established for this scale. ;Presentation of expected outcome: Disability. Presentation of the method used to verify the outcome:Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ). Presentation of the parameters: A change of 4 or more points is considered clinically relevant. | — |
