NCT ID NCT05944354
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This observational study will enroll 400 military personnel and civilians to compare motion and health history between those with low back or neck pain and those with healthy spines. Participants wear a motion monitor and complete questionnaires over one year. The goal is to develop digital biomarkers that predict return to duty or work and identify risk of reinjury.
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 could lead to better tools for predicting recovery and reinjury risk in military personnel with back or neck pain.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not produce clear predictors or directly improve outcomes.
