Using AI to analyze movement in patients with low back pain
Comparison of Range of Motion in Patients With Low Back Pain Using Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Analysis Method
Pamukkale University · NCT06686147
This study is testing how using AI to analyze movement can help understand why some people aged 18-65 with chronic low back pain have trouble moving and how to improve their treatment.

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.
Who should consider this trial
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.
Not a fit: Patients who have undergone surgical intervention for low back pain or have acute traumatic injuries will not benefit from this study.
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 performed: 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.
