Brief Summary: This study will look at the effects of Pain Neuroscience Education on a Depression outcome tool in patients with chronic low back pain.
Detailed Description: Pain and depression have been shown to be interrelated, especially chronic pain: people in chronic pain develop depression and people with depression develop chronic pain. In light of this coexistence it is not surprising that current best-evidence for depression and chronic pain shows significant overlap which includes primarily some type of cognitive intervention, aerobic exercise, and skilled delivery of medication including selective-serotonin-reuptake-inhibitors and/or membrane stabilizers. Current best-evidence regarding musculoskeletal pain provides strong support for Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) to positively influence pain ratings, dysfunction, and limitations in movement, pain knowledge and healthcare utilization. Additionally, PNE has shown to powerfully influence psychosocial issues that powerfully influence pain and depression: fear-avoidance and pain catastrophization. Evidence is lacking in whether PNE could also influence depression ratings. The purpose of this study is to examine the immediate effect of PNE on pain, function, and depressive symptoms (using the Patient Health Questionnaire - PHQ-9) in patients attending PT for chronic low back pain (LBP).

This will be a pre- and post-intervention convenience sample of consecutive patients with chronic LBP (pain \> 6 months) meeting the inclusion criteria, attending outpatient PT. On initial examination, intake data and information will be collected prior to PNE and immediately following PNE.
