ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new device called the JAPET.W+ Lumbar Traction Device to see if it can help people suffering from low back pain that isn't caused by a specific injury or condition. The trial will include adults aged 18 to 80 who have experienced this type of back pain for more than six weeks. Participants will be divided into two groups: one group will receive treatment using the JAPET.W+, while the other group will not receive this device, allowing researchers to compare the effects.

To qualify for the trial, participants need to have low back pain that is not linked to a specific medical issue, and they must be able to understand the study and agree to participate by signing a form. However, certain individuals won't be eligible, such as those with recent back surgery or specific medical conditions like serious heart or lung problems. If you decide to participate, you can expect to undergo treatment with the JAPET.W+ device, and the trial aims to find out if this device can improve your back pain and overall recovery. The study is not yet recruiting participants, but it could provide valuable insights into new treatment options for low back pain.
