Scientific titleCost-effectiveness of an individual on line real-life computer-tailored physical activity and educational intervention at work-site to secondary prevention of non-specific sub acute and recurrent low back pain in office workers: blinded randomised controlled trial
Study acronymCTE project
Study objectives1. An individual on line real-life computer-tailored physical activity and educational intervention at work-site with e-mail reminder will prevent moderate low-back pain on office workers
2. An individual on line real-life computer-tailored physical activity and educational intervention at work-site with e-mail reminder will reduce the risk of disability in patients with low back pain
3.An individual on line real-life computer-tailored physical activity and educational intervention at work-site with e-mail reminder will improve the quality of life n patients with low back pain
4. An individual on line real-life computer-tailored physical activity and educational intervention at work-site with e-mail reminder is a cost-effective addition to usual care in patients with low back pain
Ethics approval(s)Biomedical Ethical Committee of the University of Extremadura approved on the 16th June 2010 (ref: 32/2010)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedNon-specific low back pain
InterventionThe participants will be randomly assigned to intervention or control group by a random table built by computer:
1. Interventional group: eight-month individual online real-life computer-tailored physical activity and educational intervention at work-site with an e-mail reminder
2. Control group: eight-month individual online real-life computer-tailored physical activity and educational intervention at work-site without a e-mail reminder
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureMeasured at baseline, three months and eight months:
1. Socio-sanitary costs (direct and indirects costs)
2. Functional and psychological disability in nonspecific low back pain (using Roland-Morris Questionnaire, the Oswestry Disability Index and the Start Back Tool [SBST])
3. Health-related quality of life (using the EuroQoL questionnaire [EQ-5D]) and their utilities to health economic analyses
4. Fitness and muscular function (using the handgrip strength test, Ito-Shirado and leg and back flexibility)
Secondary outcome measures1. Grade of satisfaction with programme
2. International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)
3. Stage of change
Overall study start date16/06/2010
Completion date17/02/2011
