NCT06423755 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 32

Last updated 2024-05-21

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Study four: A small scale RCT will be conducted to pilot the swimming lessons developed in study three, to compare the lessons to standard physiotherapy care and to assess the feasibility of conducting a large RCT in the future. The results from this feasibility study will give the researcher some initial feedback on the swimming lessons and will inform and support the development of an RCT in the future; if the initial findings are positive. This will include whether an RCT can be carried out and evaluating recruitment and retention rates, willingness to be randomised, adverse events, outcomes, acceptability and cost analysis.

Conditions

  • Chronic Low-back Pain

Interventions
