Digital Care Program for Chronic Low Back Pain
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Chronic Low-back Pain
In brief
New ways of delivering care are much needed to address chronic low back pain. Crucially, these need to: a) address the three pillars of care to achieve good and sustained clinical outcomes; b) overcome barriers to access; c) ensure patients are engaged throughout the programs; d) be scalable and cost-efficient. SWORD Health has developed a digital care program to address these needs. This study aims to assess the clinical outcomes of this rehabilitation program versus conventional physical therapy.
