This study tested a robotic device called LumbaCure that gently moves the lower back to help people with chronic low back pain. 50 adults used the device along with their usual exercise program. The goal was to see if the device improves disability and reduces pain better than ex…

This study checked if doing physical tests (like planks and chair stands) over a video call is as accurate as doing them in person for people with chronic low back pain. Thirty-six adults completed both types of tests. The goal was to see if remote assessments could be a reliable…

This study looked at how a 14-week exercise program might reduce chronic low back pain. Fifty-seven adults with ongoing back pain either exercised or stayed on a waitlist. Researchers used brain scans and blood tests to see if changes in brain connections and gene activity helped…

This study looked back at 50 people who had a procedure for chronic low back pain 10 years ago, where a needle was used to treat damaged discs. Researchers wanted to see if the puncture itself made the discs degenerate faster. They compared MRI scans and pain levels from before t…

This study looked at what physiotherapists in Belgium and the Netherlands know and believe about chronic pain, especially in cancer survivors and people with low back pain. About 330 therapists filled out surveys and some took an online course to see if it changed their knowledge…
