Mechanisms of Specific Trunk Exercises in Low Back Pain
NCT01362049 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The research objective is to determine which physical therapy (PT) treatment is the most efficacious for patients with lower back pain (LBP), who have been subgrouped based on certain clinical features. There is only limited evidence that supports any one PT treatment for patients with LBP since PT treatment outcomes for exercise protocols are equivocal, given the heterogeneous clinical features of patients with LBP. Thus, classification of patients with LBP into subgroups with shared clinical features has been identified as a research priority by several groups in order to prescribe the most efficacious PT treatment for each homogeneous subgroup. The investigators hypothesize that particular PT treatments are most efficacious when applied to patients with LBP, who present with particular clinical and neuromuscular features.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT01362049
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT01362049 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 102 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Vermont, which has 107 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Low Back Pain appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Physical Therapy rehabilitation: Stabilization exercises. is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT01362049 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Vermont. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
