A Multi-Site Feasibility Trial of Embedded Emergency Department Physical Therapy
NCT07224945
This study is recruiting at 2 US sites in 2 states, according to its ClinicalTrials.gov record last updated .
Summary
This is a multi-site feasibility trial of an embedded emergency department (ED) physical therapy care model for low back pain at two EDs in the Northwestern Medicine and University of Utah Health systems. The study intervention (embedded ED physical therapy) is a reconceptualization of the traditional outpatient physical therapy care model in which we place a physical therapist directly in the ED to initiate timely care for patients with low back pain; we previously evaluated this intervention in a single center randomized trial.
