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

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to understand the factors that contribute to the persistence and recovery from low back pain by recruiting individuals suffering from both acute and chronic low back pain across Quebec. Participants will be monitored over a two-year period using a web-based platform, where they will provide self-reported data at multiple time points. The study employs a two-tier design, with the first tier focusing on tracking pain trajectories and the second tier involving specialized satellite projects that investigate various risk factors such as genetics, diet, and physical activity. The ultimate goal is to enhance the understanding of low back pain and improve management strategies.
