 Aims and Background:  Back pain is one of the common causes of visit and medical care. Chronic low back pain has    a    significant    effect    on    functional    status    and    limiting    occupational    activity.    In    research    on    chronic    pain,    physical    disability due to back pain is of particular importance. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between severity and pain states with disability in patients with back pain. Materials and Methods: This study was correlational and performed in a cross-sectional manner. 75 patients with low back pain were included in the study by available sampling method. To measure the pain intensity the McGill Pain Questionnaire and to assess the disability, the WHODAS 2 standard questionnaire were used. Data analysis was performed using SPSS21 software. Findings: The results of this study showed that most of the studied pain states were positively associated with the subscale    of    socializing    with    people    (P<0.01)    and    (P<0.05).    There    was    also    a    positive    and    significant    relationship    between pain severity and social relation, life activity, presence in society and general disability with (P>0.01) and (P>0.05), respectively. conclusion: Based on the results the created disabilities are not just physical, and back pain in various types and severity affects the important aspects of people’s mental and social life.
