Digital training programs for managing low back pain

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of two types of supervised digital training interventions, focusing on core stability and aerobic exercise, compared to non-supervised daily physical activity for patients suffering from low back pain. Participants will undergo clinical examinations, MRI assessments, and complete Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) at baseline and follow-up visits. The aim is to determine the clinical and imaging-based outcomes of these interventions and to explore whether new MRI techniques can detect changes in spinal tissue over time.

Why it matters

* Patients with radiating leg pain and neurological symptoms where herniated discs are suspected
* Previous back/neck surgery
* Pregnancy
