Scientists search for clues to match back pain sufferers with best treatment

NCT ID NCT04870957

Summary

This study aimed to understand why some people with chronic low back pain get better with certain treatments while others do not. Researchers tested four different 8-week treatments—mindfulness therapy, physical therapy, acupressure, and a medication—on nearly 500 participants. They collected detailed health information, including surveys, blood samples, and brain scans, to try to predict which treatment would work best for each individual.
