What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
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 Results may not be published yet.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
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study compares spinal movement patterns between 40 people with chronic low back pain and those without pain. Participants perform movements while receiving different visual cues, and their spine angles are measured in a single session. The goal is to understand how pain changes movement, not to test a treatment.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

CLBP patients will be recruited through a multimodal rehabilitation program at Lausanne University Hospital, medical doctors or physiotherapists' consultations. Healthy controls will be a convenience sample recruited using flyers and emails, notably posted at the Lausanne University Hospital, the University of Health Professions in Lausanne (HESAV) and at the University of Lausanne.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: \- sufficient French level to understand the instructions for the tests, the information sheet, the consent form. For CLBP patients: \- diagnosis of non-specific low back pain (pain from lower ribs to gluteal folds) for more than 3 months. For asymptomatic participants: * no history of LBP requiring medical attention during the last two years * no other concomitant pain or condition that could compromise the evaluation of lumbar kinematics. Exclusion Criteria: * pregnancy * skin allergy to tape * body mass index (BMI) above 32 For patients with CLBP only: * specific low back pain (such as the presence of infection, rheumatological or neurological diseases, spinal fractures, tumours) * any known important spinal deformities * previous back surgery that limits spinal mobility * high level of pain at the time of experiment that prevents repeated movements (severity and irritability) * other concomitant pain or condition that could compromise the evaluation of spinal kinematics.
