Low back pain (LBP) is ranked highest in terms of disability-adjusted life-years lived. Patient education and self-management have shown to play a crucial role in the overall pain management. However, the literature on the same with respect to Indian context is still lacking. The study was aimed to develop, validate and assess the acceptability and effectiveness of self-instructional educational module among Indian chronic LBP (CLBP) patients.
