Summary

This study tests whether better teamwork between doctors, physiotherapists, and workplace health services can help people with low back pain avoid long-term disability. About 500 adults with subacute or recurrent low back pain who are still working will receive either standard care or a coordinated program including early contact with occupational health and active physiotherapy. The main goal is to see if this approach improves patients' ability to function after one year.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
coordinated care (GP, physiotherapy, occupational health)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a practical care model to help people with low back pain return to work sooner and avoid long-term disability.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively early-stage study with 500 participants, and the intervention is a complex care coordination approach that may be difficult to implement broadly. Results may not apply to all back pain patients.
