ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying whether adding osteopathic treatment to standard medical care can help people who have chronic low back pain. Chronic low back pain is pain that lasts for more than three months and isn't caused by a specific injury or disease. The trial will involve patients receiving typical treatments, like medications and physical therapy, along with osteopathic care, which is a hands-on approach that focuses on the body's muscles and joints.

To participate in the trial, you need to be between the ages of 65 and 75 and have chronic low back pain that doesn't come from a specific medical condition. Unfortunately, if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain health issues, you won't be eligible. If you join the study, you can expect a combination of traditional treatments and osteopathic care, helping researchers understand if this combined approach can lead to better pain relief. It's a great opportunity to contribute to a better understanding of chronic back pain management.
