Artificial Intelligence-Guided Rehabilitation for Low Back Dysfunction | NCT07749833

NCT07749833

Overview

NCT ID: NCT07749833
Lead Sponsor: Cairo UniversityOTHER
Official Title: Efficacy of an Artificial Intelligence-Driven Program Versus a Traditional Physical Therapy Program in Patients With Low Back Dysfunction
Brief Summary: Low back dysfunction is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders and is associated with pain, disability, and reduced quality of life. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a promising tool to support personalized rehabilitation by improving exercise prescription, monitoring adherence, and providing real-time feedback. This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effectiveness of an AI-driven rehabilitation program with a traditional physical therapy program in patients with low back dysfunction. Primary outcomes include pain intensity, functional disability, and quality of life. The findings may provide evidence regarding the role of AI-assisted rehabilitation in improving clinical outcomes.
