Clinical Practice Guidelines for Neck and Low Back Pain in Outpatient Physical Therapy

Low Back Pain Clinical Trial

Official title:
Health System Implementation of Clinical Practice Guidelines for Neck and Low Back Pain in Outpatient Physical Therapy Settings

Clinical Trial Summary

This study will investigate implementation of a process to enhance Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) adherence to limit unwarranted variability in initial treatment decisions with high potential for providing more effective and efficient physical therapy management for patients with neck and low back pain.

Clinical Trial Description

Effective implementation of CPGs to augment initial clinical decision making during physical therapy management of patients with spine related musculoskeletal pain will have several important goals: 1) improve patient pain and disability outcomes, 2) limit over utilization of physical therapy services, and 3) increase adherence to limit unwarranted variation in clinical practice. This proposed pilot study proposal will test if a multifaceted intervention strategy for implementation of neck and low back CPG meets these goals and provide necessary data for larger system wide implementation efforts. Specific Aim 1: Determine if physical therapy clinics that receive neck and low back pain (LBP) clinical practice guideline (CPG) training are associated with improved patient outcomes compared to those that have not received training. Neck and LBP specific disability and pain intensity will be assessed at intake, on a weekly basis and at discharge (Specific Aim 1a). Secondary patient outcomes will consist of patient satisfaction scores (Specific Aim 1b). Statistical analyses will evaluate for temporal effects of training considering the stepped wedge study design. Specific Aim 2: Determine if multifaceted interventions for CPG implementation positively impacts physical therapist beliefs, attitudes, knowledge and behaviors over time. CPG adherence (by clinicians) will be indirectly assessed using quantitative and qualitative methods consisting of: 1) clinician checklists, 2) clinician questionnaires, 3) quality indicators, and 4) total proportion outcome measure assessments (Specific Aim 2). ;
