ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a rehabilitation program called Revita, designed to help people with chronic low back pain and other spine issues. The goal is to see how effective this program is in improving the health and well-being of patients with these conditions. The research is taking place at University Hospitals Leuven, and they are currently looking for participants who are adults over 18 years old and have been experiencing spine problems for more than six weeks. Eligible participants should also be willing to join the Revita program and understand the process well enough to give informed consent.

If you decide to participate, you can expect to take part in rehabilitation sessions that last about two hours. These sessions will include exercises aimed at improving your spine health. It's important to note that the trial is not open to everyone; for example, individuals who don’t speak Dutch well or cannot participate in the exercises will not be eligible. This study aims to help improve treatment options for patients with long-lasting spine pain, so your involvement could contribute to important findings in this area.
