Chronic Lower Back Pain
persists for 12 weeks or
longer, even after an initial
injury or underlying cause of
acute low back pain has been
treated. Low back pain is very
common and at one point
everyone may have faced this
problem.
Pain severity may form bi-
dimensional or one-dimensional
scale depending on the specific
instruments tested. High inter-
correlations between pain-intensity
measures and pain-related disability
measures support a unitary construct
of pain severity.

The exact cause of lower back
pain is unknown. Lower back
pain that is long-term is called
chronic low back pain, this
condition might originate from
an injury, disease, or stress on
different structures of the
body, and pain may vary
significantly.
Various scales are used by experts
in order to assess the severity of
pain in CLBP patients, two of the
most widely used are Visual
Analogue Scale (VAS) and Verbal
Rating Scale (VRS).
