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

What this trial studies

This study investigates the effectiveness of adding osteopathic treatment to standard medical management for patients suffering from chronic non-specific low back pain. It compares pain levels after three months among three groups: those receiving only classical medical treatment, those receiving classical treatment with sham osteopathic treatment, and those receiving classical treatment with actual osteopathic treatment. The aim is to determine if osteopathic treatment can significantly reduce pain compared to the other approaches.
