Patient education for sticking with home exercises
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether extra education helps people with chronic musculoskeletal conditions—like long-term back pain, knee arthritis, or partial rotator cuff tears—stick with their home exercise routines to feel better. If you have one of these conditions and are willing to follow a home exercise plan, this could help you manage pain.
