Study Summary

The primary aims of the project are to determine the clinical efficacy of chiropractic Spinal Manipulative Therapy (SMT) plus self-care education versus self-care education alone in 192 patients with sub-acute and chronic Back Related Leg Pain (BRLP) in both the short-term (after 12 weeks) and long-term (after 52 weeks). The primary outcome variable is leg pain and secondary outcome variables include low back pain, disability, bothersomeness and frequency of symptoms, general health status, and fear avoidance behavior. Secondary aims are to describe and estimate between group differences in patient satisfaction, improvement, medication use, straight leg raise, torso endurance, and three biomechanical measures: continuous spinal motion, postural sway, and neuromuscular response to sudden load. Patient perceptions of treatment will also be assessed.
