ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking to understand how anxiety affects Polish patients who have chronic lower back pain. Chronic lower back pain is defined as pain that lasts for more than three months. The researchers want to find out how severe the anxiety symptoms are in these individuals, which can help improve their overall care and treatment.

To be eligible for this study, participants must be at least 18 years old, speak Polish, and have been experiencing chronic lower back pain. However, people who have had recent back surgery, have a serious mental illness, or have been pregnant in the past year cannot participate. If you join the study, you will be asked to share your experiences related to pain and anxiety, which will contribute to a better understanding of these issues in Poland. The study is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to shed light on the important connection between chronic pain and anxiety.
