Funded Activity Summary

Low back pain is the leading cause of disability globally with no effective treatment. Although low back pain is a complex condition, current treatment strategies use a ‘one size fits all’ approach which has contributed to lack of effective treatments and patient’s dissatisfaction. This fellowship aims to identify novel risk factors, patient groups and patient specific factors related to poor outcomes so that effective treatments can be targeted to those most likely to benefit.
