ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying whether a special lower back wrap can help reduce pain and improve daily activities and overall quality of life for adults experiencing lower back pain. Participants between the ages of 20 and 65, regardless of gender or ethnicity, may be eligible to join if they do not have certain serious health conditions or are not currently receiving rehabilitation for their back pain.

If you join the study, you will use the back wrap for at least 20 minutes a day over a two-week period, followed by another two-week period without using the wrap. During this time, you will answer daily surveys about your pain and physical ability, and you will complete additional surveys before, during, and after the study to help researchers see if the wrap makes a difference. This is a great opportunity to help improve treatments for lower back pain while also gaining insights into your own health.
