Exercise programs for overweight men with long-term back pain
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests different exercise programs for overweight men with long-term (over 3 months) lower back pain. It aims to see if exercise can help reduce pain that may be linked to how the nervous system processes pain signals.
