Personalized Trial for Chronic Lower Back Pain

The Personalized Trial of Chronic Lower Back Pain will test the feasibility of employing technology to facilitate remote N-of-1 interventions to research participants with self-identified back pain. Participants will spend 14 weeks alternating between massage, yoga, and usual care methods to treat their back pain, while answering daily questions and wearing an activity tracker. After 14 weeks, participants will have the ability to share their opinions about a Personalized Trials platform. We believe a Personalized Trials platform will be satisfactory to participants and feasible to scale to large randomized controlled trials, and eventually to clinical practice.
