Official title
Spinal Manipulation Services vs. Prescription Drug Therapy for Long-term Care of Aged Medicare Beneficiaries With Chronic Low Back Pain
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Our overall objective is to assess the value of Spinal Manipulation Services as compared to Prescription Drug Therapy for long-term management of chronic Law back Pain (LBP). Our central hypothesis is that among aged Medicare beneficiaries with chronic LBP, utilization of SMS offers superior value (to both patient and payer) for long-term care as compared to PDT.
