NCT ID NCT07286630
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will survey 381 Egyptian physical therapists aged 25–55 who have had chronic low back pain for at least three months. Researchers will use questionnaires to measure how much pain limits daily activities and how much fear of movement affects their work and life. The goal is to understand the scale of these issues in this specific group of healthcare workers.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If this study succeeds, it could highlight how fear of movement affects disability in therapists with back pain, pointing toward better support and training.
What could go wrong
This is an observational survey, not a treatment trial. It only includes Egyptian physical therapists in Cairo, so results may not apply to other groups.
