Objective To review the present clinical evaluation of treatment for chronic low back pain. Methods The literature on the effectiveness evaluation method of chronic low back pain was reviewed and summarized. Results Many scoring systems are used to assess the treatment for chronic low back pain through the evaluation of pain and functional disability. The function evaluations are divided into general and disease-specific evaluations. Currently the most widely used evaluation systems are as follows: short-form 36 health survey scale (SF-36), Oswestry disability index (ODI), Roland-Morris disability questionnaire (RDQ), Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) low back pain scoring system, Quebec back pain disability scale (QBPDS), and Macnab criteria. Visual analogue scale (VAS) and numerical rating scale (NRS) are usually used to evaluate the pain degree. Conclusion There are many effectiveness evaluation methods of chronic low back pain, but there is still a lack of more comprehensive, concise, and practical evaluation method. Further studies are required to develop it.
