简要总结
The most common work-related injury in British Columbia every year is a lower back injury. The many different treatment options that are available to workers with a back injury have often led to confusion and frustration. New back pain research has shown which combinations of treatments are most helpful, but has also shown that many injured workers in British Columbia do not have these treatments made readily available to them. This research study is designed to accurately determine whether or not providing patients suffering from acute back injuries with a combination of all of these recommended treatments, will improve their function, quality of life and return to work.
详细描述
Objectives:
To determine if evidence-based care (EBC) is more effective than usual care (UC) in improving the functional status of patients with acute mechanical lower back pain. Our secondary objectives are to determine if EBC is effective in improving patient quality of life or time to return to work.
Research Methodology:
Design: This is a two arm, parallel design, randomized trial. Eligibility: Inclusion criteria are residents of British Columbia with mechanical lower back pain (Quebec Task Force on Spinal Disorders Classification categories 1 or 2) of up to four weeks duration.
