An interventional study of Aquatic program based on the back school in Low Back Pain, Exercise and Healthy, sponsored by University of Vigo. Withdrawn at 1 site in Spain. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-08-14.
Sponsored by University of Vigo · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
A controlled and randomized clinical trial will be conducted, in which scores on dependent variable measures will be compared before and after the intervention, both in the experimental group (EG) (individuals who will attend the in an aquatic program based on the back school) and in the control group (CG) (individuals who will not attend the in an aquatic program based on the back school). The experimental procedure will follow the recommendations of the CONSORT and TidIER guidelines. The study protocol will be approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the University of Vigo. This study will be conducted under the Declaration of Helsinki (2013 version). Participants will sign a written informed consent after being informed of the benefits and risks of the research. Participants in the EG will participate in an aquatic program based on the back school. This program will follow the recommendations of the biopsychosocial model of chronic pain and will be conducted in an aquatic environment. The intervention will be carried out by physiotherapists in a sports centre. The duration of the intervention will be six weeks, with a frequency of two sessions per week, totalling 12 sessions of 45 minutes each. Of all the sessions, 10 will have a practical focus and the other two will have a theoretical focus.

Visual Analogue Scale.
The visual analogue scale is a widely used tool to measure pain. The patient is asked to indicate the intensity of the pain they perceive (most commonly) along a horizontal line from 0 millimetres (minimum value) to 100 millimetres (maximum value), and this score is then measured from the left edge, the higher the value in millimetres the more pain.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 2 months.
Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire.
The Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire Scoring is a 24-item patient-reported outcome measure that inquires about pain-related disability resulting from LBP. Items are scored 0 if left blank or 1 if endorsed, for a total Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire score ranging from 0 to 24; higher scores represent higher levels of pain-related disability.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 2 months.
Short-Form Health Survey-36.
Short-Form Health Survey was used to measure quality of life.The Short-Form Health Survey-36 explores people's physical and mental health. It consists of 36 items that assessed eight dimensions of health status: social function, physical function, emotional role, physical role, mental health, vitality, physical pain, and general health. Scores ranged from 0 (worst health status) to 100 (best health status).
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 2 months.
Tampa Scale Of Kinesiophobia.
This scale measures kinesiophobia. The total scale score ranges from 11 to 44, where 11 means no kinesiophobia and 44 means severe kinesiophobia.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 2 months.
