description The effectiveness of education in patients with low back pain (LBP) remains controversial and inconclusive. This case report describes the long-term effects of a single educational session on the rehabilitation of a patient with chronic LBP (CLBP). A 57-year-old woman presented with the main complaint of LBP and inability to prostrate for several years. The intervention consisted of a single session of patient-specific education that targeted negative cognitive beliefs. This education included instructions about the obtained findings, spinal anatomy, patient reassurance, the relationship between imaging findings and patient symptoms, proposed treatment, and a home exercise program. The patient was able to independently complete the prostration task immediately after the session without pain. This improvement was maintained for at least 16 months, as demonstrated by the Numeric Pain Rate Scale, Patient-Specific Functional Scale, Fear Avoidance Belief Questionnaire, and the Keele STarT Back Screening Tool. In conclusion, a single session of patient-specific education was effective, both immediately and over the long term, in addressing pain and function in patients with CLBP.
