Spinal pain study digs into the role of multiple illnesses
NCT ID NCT06402409
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how having other chronic conditions (like diabetes or heart disease) affects people with back or neck pain. Researchers will track 2,000 adults referred to hospital clinics in Denmark, measuring their quality of life, pain levels, and how their overall health burden influences recovery. The goal is to improve care for people with spinal pain who also have other ongoing health issues.

- What could go wrong
