Summary

The pilot study precedes a larger randomized controlled trial, to be starting in February 2019.

In this pilot study all participants are allocated to the intervention group.

The intervention consists of a digital decision support system delivering a weekly plan of suggested activities that the participant can use to self-manage their low back pain. The plan is presented to the participant in the selfBACK app.

Conditions

  • Low Back Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Usual care + selfBACK

The selfBACK intervention is a digital Decision Support System (DSS) for self-management of LBP provided to the participant via a smartphone app (selfBACK app). In addition, the participant is provided with a step-detecting wristband (Xiaomi Mi Band 2) that interacts with the selfBACK app. The DSS provides individually tailored self-management plans including content from three categories; 1) information/education, 2) physical activity monitoring through wearing the step-detecting wristband, and 3) strength and flexibility exercises. The weekly plans are individually tailored to the specific patient, using the data available from the patient, and each week the patients report back their progress on physical activity (step count) and exercise (volume completed). These data are matched with the patients follow-up data to create a self-management plan that is up to date and adaptable to variation in health-status of the individual patient.
