Overview
The aim of this study is to investigate the predictive value of various biopsychosocial variables on the outcomes of subjects with chronic spinal pain undergoing public health rehabilitation pathways. Secondly, the study aims to assess the reliability of certain questionnaires, classified as Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs), which are frequently used in the evaluation of spinal pain but whose metric properties have not yet been established. These objectives will be pursued through two comprehensive assessment sessions (before and after rehabilitation), a re-test session immediately before rehabilitation (to evaluate the reliability of the questionnaires in stable subjects), and two follow-up assessments at 3 and 6 months after discharge.
