This study has no listed site in Canada in this snapshot. It is included as part of the worldwide chronic pain corpus.
Brief summary (from the registry)
The investigators hypothesize that a 6-week treatment of non-invasive spinal decompression reduces discogenic low back pain (LBP), increases lumbar disk height, and that an increase in lumbar disc height is associated with decreased LBP.
