Hands-on therapy and sensory training for chronic low back pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining hands-on physical therapy with sensory training (to improve how your brain senses your back) can reduce pain and change how you perceive your body. It is for people with long-term low back pain who are eligible for military healthcare.
