Randomized Controlled Trial
An occupational, internet-based intervention to prevent chronicity in subacute lower back pain: a randomised controlled trial.
To investigate whether an online occupational postural and exercise intervention reduced patients' overall risk status for chronicity in subacute non-specific low back pain compared with conventional treatment, and to determine whether changes in risk of chronicity correlate with changes in specific outcomes (i.e. Functional Status and QoL) for low back pain. ⋯ This study supports the potential utility of a real-time occupational internet-based intervention for preventing progression to chronicity of subacute non-specific low back pain among office workers.
