The primary objective of the European evidence-based guidelines is to provide a set of recommendations that can support existing and future national and international guidelines or future updates of existing back pain guide- lines. This particular guideline intends to foster a realistic ap- proach to improving the treatment of common (nonspecific) chronic low back pain (CLBP) in Europe by: Providing recommendations on strategies to manage chronic low back pain and/or its consequences in the gen- eral population and in workers.

Abstract
The primary objective of the European evidence-based guidelines is to provide a set of recommendations that can support existing and future national and international guidelines or future updates of existing back pain guide- lines. This particular guideline intends to foster a realistic ap- proach to improving the treatment of common (nonspecific) chronic low back pain (CLBP) in Europe by: Providing recommendations on strategies to manage chronic low back pain and/or its consequences in the gen- eral population and in workers. Ensuring an evidence-based approach through the use of systematic reviews and existing evidence-based guide- lines, supplemented (where necessary) by individual sci- entific studies. Providing recommendations that are generally accept- able to a wide range of professions and agencies in all par- ticipating countries. Enabling a multidisciplinary approach, stimulating col- laboration between the various players potentially in- volved in treatment, thus promoting consistency across countries in Europe. Identifying ineffective interventions to limit their use. Highlighting areas where more research is needed.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
