Evaluating the Japet.W Exoskeleton Device for Treating Adults with Non-specific Mechanical Low Back Pain

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying patients with nonspecific mechanical low back pain lasting more than six weeks to evaluate the use of the Japet.W lumbar traction device in rehabilitation. The study compares two groups one receiving conventional physiotherapy and another receiving physiotherapy with the support of the Japet.W exoskeleton. Participants are also categorized based on work status those on temporary work leave and those unable to work after exhausting other treatments. The trial involves two groups a control group undergoing 30 sessions of conventional physiotherapy, and an experimental group receiving 30 physiotherapy sessions assisted by the Japet.W exoskeleton. Evaluations occur at session 1, session 15, session 30, and a follow-up three months after completing physiotherapy. The study monitors various outcomes over six months, including pain levels, analgesic use, functional ability, fear of movement, quality of life, and anxiety. Participants will attend physiotherapy sessions and undergo assessments at specified points to measure pain, function, medication use, and psychological factors. Safety of the Japet.W device is also assessed. Data collection continues for up to six months to observe changes and longer-term effects. The study duration includes the physiotherapy sessions and a post-treatment follow-up period, with monitoring throughout.
