The working hypothesis is that spa therapy in addition to usual care including home
exercises (UCHE) will result in greater improvements in pain reduction, associated
disability and quality of life for chronic low back pain patients. It follows that health
resource consumption and linked costs should also be reduced. The primary objective of
this study is therefore to compare the therapeutic effect of UCHE alone versus spa
therapy in addition to UCHE for chronic low back pain.
