Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Lariboisière-Fernand Widal Hospital, Assistance Publique- Hôpitaux de Paris (AP-HP), Université Paris Cité, Paris, France.

Purpose: Little information exists on the potential differential response to functional restoration between non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP) individuals with and those without Modic type 1 changes. Therefore, this case-control study investigated the response profile of NSCLBP patients with and without Modic type 1 changes undergoing functional restoration.

Methods: The present study included patients participating in a functional restoration program (day-hospital program lasting five weeks) at a French tertiary care center from 2009 to 2019.
