ER's new weapon against back pain: physical therapists on site to cut opioid use
NCT ID NCT04921449
Summary
This study tested whether having a physical therapist right in the emergency room helps people with sudden, severe back pain. Researchers compared patients who saw the on-site therapist to those who got standard ER care. The main goals were to see if this approach improved people's ability to function in daily life and reduced their need for opioid painkillers over three months.
