Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.

Summary

This study tests whether a new physiotherapist-led primary care model can improve outcomes for people with low back pain. Over 1,500 adults in Canada will receive either this new model or usual care. The approach includes a thorough assessment, brief advice and exercises, and help navigating health services. Researchers will measure pain, disability, quality of life, and satisfaction.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Physiotherapist-led primary care model (assessment, brief intervention, and health services navigation)
What this could lead to
If successful, this model could provide a more effective and accessible way to manage low back pain in primary care, reducing disability and improving quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral intervention study, not a drug trial, so results may vary by clinic and patient. The outcomes rely on self-report, and the model may not work equally well for all types of back pain.
