Abstract

Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP) is a common health problem that most people experience at some point in their lives. For the relief of pain, numerous studies have shown that pain medication causes several side effects and leads to mortality. This study focused on how an individual's choice of CLBP treatment modalities impacts utilization of the strategies of self-transcendence. Chronic low back pain prevalence shows a steady increase in the studies reviewed. Patients may improve in self-transcendence and well-being while they experience CLBP. Self-transcendence is a vital resource of well-being as people seek to manage CLBP.
