Abstract
Current treatment of low back pain indicates that a classification-based approach may be of value in identifying patients who may benefit from particular interventions (Fritz et al.2007). Epidemiologic data indicate that chronic, widespread,nonspecific musculoskeletal pain is on the rise, which results in a significant challenge to health care providers and adds to the ever-increasing costs of health care, especially in the area of chronic low back pain (CLBP) (Wall and Melzack 2005). Few treatment interventions are helpful for CLBP (Carville et al.2008), which in turn adds to the frustration and challenge of treating these patients. One in five people in the United States has an ongoing (chronic) pain state, implying that approximately65 to 70 million Americans have persistent pain (Walland Melzack 2005).
