Trials for Lower Back Pain Patients
Behavioural Intervention
DuoTherm vs TENS for Lower Back Pain
This trial compares a belt that provides vibration, heat, cold, and pressure (DuoTherm) to a device that uses electrical stimulation in patients with acute low back pain. DuoTherm helps by relaxing muscles and reducing inflammation, while the other device blocks pain signals from reaching the brain. The electrical stimulation device has been used for pain relief in various conditions, including chronic low back pain, but its effectiveness needs more research.
Behavioral Intervention
Integrated vs. Coordinated Pain Management for Back Pain
This trial is testing whether an Integrated Care Pathway or a Coordinated Care Pathway is more effective in reducing pain and improving function for people with low back pain.
Watchful Waiting Strategy for Lower Back Pain
This trial will test whether using actors to portray patients can help doctors learn how to better offer watchful waiting as a means of avoiding low-value spinal imaging for patients with acute low back pain.
Behavioral Intervention
Stepped Care Management for Lower Back Pain
This trial will study two possible treatments for chronic low back pain, physical therapy or Move 2 Health. If neither of these treatments work after six weeks, patients will then be randomized to receive either the addition of the other treatment or the MORE Mindfulness intervention.
