Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are individuals aged 18-65 who have experienced lower back pain for at least three months and have consulted a doctor regarding their condition.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have undergone surgical intervention for low back pain or have acute traumatic injuries will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study focuses on patients aged 18-65 who have experienced low back pain for at least three months. It aims to assess joint range of motion using AI-assisted analysis to better understand the impact of chronic low back pain on mobility. By evaluating the movement patterns of participants, the study seeks to identify factors that contribute to the chronicity of low back pain and inform future treatment approaches.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved assessment and management strategies for patients suffering from chronic low back pain.
How similar studies have gone: While the use of AI in analyzing movement is a growing field, this specific approach to chronic low back pain is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in similar studies.
