Lifestyle program for weight and chronic low back pain
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a lifestyle change program (often diet and activity habits) can reduce long-lasting low back pain in overweight or obese adults. It also aims to see if people can keep their usual care while adding the lifestyle program.
