Back muscle control and X-ray findings in chronic low back pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how the way your back muscles work together (motor control) relates to the shape of your spine seen on X-rays, in people with long-lasting low back pain that isn't caused by a specific condition. If you join, you'll help researchers understand this link, which could lead to better treatments.

This study checks whether a therapist’s judgment about how your back controls movement matches objective measurements (more technical testing). It may help improve how low back pain rehabilitation is assessed and planned.
This study compares two approaches to a strength training program for people with long-lasting low back pain: one where you choose your own exercises, and one where a physiotherapist prescribes them. The goal is to see if letting you pick your exercises makes the program more effective or easier to stick with.
