Comparing telerehabilitation methods for chronic low back pain in office workers
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares three ways to do physical therapy remotely (live video, self-paced online, or a mix) for office workers with long-term low back pain. It aims to find which method works best for people who sit at a desk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
