Chronic Low Back Pain and Osteopathic Manipulation Treatment (NCT07161661)
Feasibility of Implementing Manual Medicine in the Multimodal Management of Veterans and Service Members With Chronic Low Back Pain
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if adding Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy (OMT) to the usual medical care provided at the VA (usual VA care) improves treatment outcomes in individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP). OMT is a set of hands-on techniques a doctor uses to move a patient's muscles and joints which include stretching, gentle pressure, resistance and applying forces to specific areas of the body. This feasibility clinical trial aims to learn about the treatment effects (e.g., effect sizes) of adding OMT to the usual medical care provided at the VA (Usual VA Care) in individuals with LBP.
