NCT ID NCT07731204
First seen Jul 28, 2026 · Last updated Jul 29, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a digital music therapy tool called MUSIC CARE© can help people with chronic low back pain improve their daily functioning and reduce fear of movement. Participants in the study will either follow a standard rehabilitation program with or without listening to the music tool before each session. Researchers aim to see if the music-based approach, designed to promote relaxation and pain relief, adds extra benefits to standard care.
