Characterizing the Role of Pain Sensitivity in Acute to Persistent Low Back Pain

NCT01981382 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 220

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This research study will examine whether enhanced pain sensitivity increases the risk of persistent low back pain. The study will address the highly prevalent and costly condition of persistent low back pain and a major obstacle for the implementation of clinical strategies to improve patient outcomes. The knowledge gained from this study may lead to a better understanding of the biological mechanisms that contribute to persistent low back pain and will inform future work to develop predictive measures of persistent low back pain risk, evaluative measures to examine treatment efficacy, and possibly biomarker assay(s) to identify patients who are at increased risk of persistent low back pain.
