Objectives 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 guidelines. This particular guideline intends to foster a realistic approach to improving the treatment of common (non-specific) chronic low back pain (CLBP) in Europe by: 1. Providing recommendations on strategies to manage chronic low back pain and/or its consequences in the general population and in workers. 2. Ensuring an evidence-based approach through the use of systematic reviews and existing evidence-based guidelines, supplemented (where necessary) by individual scientific studies. 3. Providing recommendations that are generally acceptable to a wide range of professions and agencies in all participating countries. 4. Enabling a multidisciplinary approach, stimulating collaboration between the various players potentially involved in treatment, thus promoting consistency across countries in Europe. 5. Identifying ineffective interventions to limit their use. 6. Highlighting areas where more research is needed.

Abstract

Objectives 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 guidelines. This particular guideline intends to foster a realistic approach to improving the treatment of common (non-specific) chronic low back pain (CLBP) in Europe by: 1. Providing recommendations on strategies to manage chronic low back pain and/or its consequences in the general population and in workers. 2. Ensuring an evidence-based approach through the use of systematic reviews and existing evidence-based guidelines, supplemented (where necessary) by individual scientific studies. 3. Providing recommendations that are generally acceptable to a wide range of professions and agencies in all participating countries. 4. Enabling a multidisciplinary approach, stimulating collaboration between the various players potentially involved in treatment, thus promoting consistency across countries in Europe. 5. Identifying ineffective interventions to limit their use. 6. Highlighting areas where more research is needed.
