Study Summary
The specific aim of this study is to conduct a prospective, multicenter cohort study over four months to compare the cost of standard of allopathic care (control group, N=90) versus standard of care plus osteopathic manipulative treatment (experimental group, N=90) in a cohort of 180 consecutive patients seeking treatment for chronic low back pain at three osteopathic clinics and three allopathic medical clinics (offering only standard care) located in three different regions of the United States.
Primary Outcome
The cost data will be collected from the electronic medical record of each patient enrolled in the study. Because the costs for comparable treatments vary with respect to different socioeconomic and geographic regions in the United States, the mean total-healthcare costs per patient will be calculated based on codes for 2018 Medicare fee schedules for each clinic listed in the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) for office visits, medications, OMT, and referrals.
