Influence of Patient-Informed Choice in a Novel Treatment Model for LBP

Withdrawn before enrolling · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Mechanical Low Back Pain

In brief

1. (Primary) To compare the effectiveness of a patient guided choice of care using a patient decision support tool to clinical guided care within a novel care process for non-specific low back pain. (We hypothesize that the patient guided choice model will demonstrate significant improvements when compared to the clinician guided care approach) 2. (Secondary) To qualitatively investigate which components of the patient choice educational methods were most effective for informed decision making among patients who participate in the patient guided choice of care approach (We hypothesize that dialogue method of patient guided choice will be identified as most useful)
