We are conducting a research study about the “My Back Exercise App”, a mobile health application developed for people with chronic low back pain.

The purpose of this research is to test whether the “My Back Exercise App” can help people with chronic low back pain to improve their physical function, as well as reduce their pain intensity and improve their quality of life. Taking part in this study is voluntary.

 

We are seeking people:

• Aged 18 years or over,

• Who report an episode of back pain of at least 12 weeks duration,

• Have a smartphone or tablet with an Internet connection to download the app,

• Have independent mobility and eyesight to use the app,

• Have a sufficient understanding of English.

 

Taking part in this study will involve downloading and installing the “My Back Exercise” App on your mobile phone or tablet and utilising it for 6 weeks, completing online forms and questionnaires about you and your health in four timepoints across one year after the study.
