Summary

This trial tests whether a specialized physiotherapy method called STOPS (Specific Treatment of Problems of the Spine) works better than usual physiotherapy for people with chronic low back pain in Bangladesh. About 154 participants will receive either standard care or individualized STOPS treatment. Researchers will measure pain, disability, work productivity, and cost-effectiveness to see if STOPS is a better option.

physiotherapy (STOPS approach)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a more effective, cost-saving physiotherapy method for chronic low back pain in Bangladesh.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage implementation trial (154 participants) comparing two physiotherapy approaches, so results may not apply broadly. There is no blinding, which could bias outcomes.
