Telerehab for chronic low back pain in rural areas
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a video-based physical therapy program can help people with chronic low back pain who live in rural areas. If you qualify, you'll get telerehabilitation (rehab done at home through video calls) to reduce pain and improve function.
