Evaluation of the efficacy, in terms of pain and disability, of a functional restoration programme in patients with chronic low back pain according to the presence of Modic 1 discopathy.

Objectives: Modic type 1 disc disease (MD1) appears to be related to severe Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP). Functional Restoration Programmes (FRP) recommended in CLBP may not be suitable for patients with MD1. The main objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of a FRP, on the perceived incapacity and the pain intensity, in patients with non-specific CLBP according to the presence of MD1.
