The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Other interventions: Pain education and patient-led goal setting
8 week program delivered via five, up to 1-hour telehealth sessions. The sessions will be scheduled at approximately fortnightly intervals. Participants will also be prescribed approximately 30 minutes of online activities with each session. Pain education will be based on Explain Pain and the curriculum will have specified learning objectives adapted for each individual participant. Participants will access the online education curriculum through Pathwright. For patient-led goal setting, the healthcare practitioner will take an initial history of the participants physical activity behaviours and problems related to their back pain. The participant will prioritise their problems according to impact in their life. Strategies will then be discussed, and the participant will, in collaboration with the healthcare practitioner, set goals and strategies to work on independently between sessions.

Other interventions: Supervised group exercise
Participants will be asked to attend 1-2 sessions of online supervised group exercise each week for 8 weeks. The sessions will be performed in small groups (up to 8 people) and be led by a trained healthcare practitioner. The prescribed exercises will be able to be performed at home with minimal equipment and will mostly involve bodyweight resistance training targeting the major muscle groups.
