SUMMARY:

Low back pain is a condition that affects most individuals at least once in their lifetime. The combination of qualitative methods with Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) has been proposed to capture subjective aspects of interventions, such as perceptions and attitudes, which are not measurable by quantitative methods, increasing the validity and applicability of the results. The present study aims to identify and understand how qualitative methods are being integrated into RCTs in research related to the treatment of low back pain. This is a scoping review reported based on the methodology proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) and PRISMA-ScR. The search strategy will be conducted in scientific databases, including PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, LILACS and Web of Science, using specific descriptors related to low back pain, RCTs and qualitative methods. Studies that combine qualitative approaches to RCTs will be included, without restrictions on language or publication dates. Data selection and separation will be carried out by two independent reviewers, using the Covidence platform. Data will be analyzed using descriptive statistics and qualitative variables will be explored and classified through data categorization. This study is expected to identify and understand how qualitative methods are being integrated into RCTs in studies on low back pain.
