What this Trial Is About
Low Back Pain is a common heath condition with high rates of recurrence and huge associated costs. Research has focused its efforts on analysing the effects of interventions while knowledge about effective secondary prevention strategies is limited. MyBack study aims to analyse the effectiveness of a tailored exercise and behavioural change program (MyBack program) in the secondary prevention of low back pain, and evaluate acceptability, feasibility and determinants of implementation by the different stakeholders, as well as the implementation strategy of the MyBack program, through a hybrid type I, randomized, controlled and multicentre study of effectiveness and implementation in the context of primary health care.
