Brief summary (from the registry)

The primary objective of the current research is to assess the effect of an enhanced patient-clinician relationship when compared to a limited patient-clinician relationship on measures of chronic low back pain and objective functional measures. The second objective is to examine racialized disparities in chronic low back pain among individuals who identify as non-Hispanic Black and non-Hispanic White using a qualitative approach. Lastly, the study team will explore relationships between psychosocial components of low back pain, pain and functional outcomes, and patient-clinician relationship measures.
