Rehabilitation Program for Spine Pain
This study is observing the effects of a rehabilitation program for individuals with neck pain, low back pain, scoliosis, or thoracic injuries. The program involves spine-specific strengthening exercises targeting core muscles like the Multifidus and Transversus Abdominus. Participants will have at least 20 in-clinic visits over 10 weeks. Researchers want to understand how this program affects pain (measured by a Visual Analogue Scale), disability, and quality of life over 2 years. You may be able to join if you are between 18 and 89 years old and have been prescribed physical rehabilitation for spine pain. The study is currently observing 5000 participants.
- Study design
- This is an observational study, meaning researchers will watch and collect information from 5000 participants. It is not a randomized trial where participants are assigned to different treatments.
- What's involved
- You would participate in an in-clinic exercise program with a minimum of 20 visits at 2 visits per week. Your pain, disability, and quality of life will be measured at 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for 2 years after starting the program, with measurements taken at 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years.
