Summary
This study tests whether having a daily check-in with a physician, in addition to standard physical therapy, helps people with low back pain more than therapy alone. 74 adults aged 18-65 with subacute or chronic mechanical low back pain will be split into two groups. Both groups get hot packs, TENS, ultrasound, and exercises; one group also meets with a physician every day during treatment. Pain, fear of movement, and disability are measured at 5 days and 1 month after treatment.
What this could mean

Active substance
conventional physical therapy plus daily physician-patient meetings
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that adding close physician follow-up to standard physical therapy helps people with low back pain feel better faster.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 74 people and a short follow-up of one month. The results may not apply to everyone with back pain.
