Conditions
Low Back Pain
Interventions
Other: Coordinated care
Registration Number
NCT04826757
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Angers
Brief Summary

Common low back pain affects about 23% of general population and can be associated with psychosocial difficulties and prolonged inability to work. Its management in France mainly depends on general practioners, and sometime on physiotherapists.

A coordinated care between general practioners, physiotherapists and occupational health services would help to improve the care pathway for patients and health professionals.

The main objective is to assess the impact of coordinated primary care and deployed at the territories' level, in subacute or acute recurrent low back pain patients in comparison with the standard care.
