NCT ID NCT07176845

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study will follow 600 adults with low back pain (300 with acute pain, 300 with chronic pain) for 6 months. Participants will use a smartphone app to report pain, fear, and disability, and wear an activity tracker to measure movement and heart rate. The goal is to understand how physical, psychological, and social factors interact over time, which could lead to better ways to prevent and manage back pain.

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 successful, this study could reveal patterns that help doctors predict who will develop chronic low back pain and guide more personalized treatments.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not test any therapy, so it cannot directly improve pain. Results may take years to influence clinical practice.
