Major study tests new approaches to tackle America's leading pain problem

NCT ID NCT03083886

Summary

This large study tested three different ways to manage recent back or neck pain. Over 3,000 adults with pain lasting less than three months were randomly assigned to receive either usual doctor care, a coordinated care model, or a posture-focused therapy. Researchers measured which approach best reduced pain, improved daily function, and lowered healthcare costs over one year.
