Summary

This trial is testing whether a new approach to managing low back pain will decrease healthcare resource utilization and improve quality of life.

This trial is for family physicians in Alberta treating patients with lower back pain. Physicians must be over 18, speak English, and understand written information to consent. Patients with low back pain due to recent accidents or other clinical trials are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study tests the Alberta Back Carepathway (ABCp) against usual care. ABCp trains physicians in guideline-based interventions for lower back pain at no extra cost, aiming to reduce healthcare resource use and improve quality of life.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves training in care pathways rather than medication or invasive procedures, traditional side effects are not a concern. However, there may be indirect effects related to changes in patient management.
