Can a team approach beat standard physio for back pain?
NCT ID NCT07061405
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at people with recent low back pain that might turn into long-term pain. It compares a two-week program with a team of specialists (like doctors, physiotherapists, and psychologists) to standard physiotherapy sessions over several weeks. The goal is to see which approach better reduces disability and pain over a year.
