Summary:

The NIH Back Pain Consortium (BACPAC) Research Program brings together leading centers with expertise in studying and treating chronic low back pain to advance understanding of the mechanisms that underlie the condition and to identify novel treatment strategies. BACPAC is undertaking a multisite precision medicine clinical trial taking into account patient-specific information to understand which patients with chronic low back pain respond best to various nonopioid, evidence-based treatments. The trial seeks to enroll a racially, ethnically, and socioeconomically diverse patient population to ensure that the results are applicable to all Americans with chronic low back pain. This project aims to develop comprehensive recruitment and retention plans for study sites that can recruit from historically underrepresented populations in clinical research (e.g., Black and Hispanic populations) and to provide dedicated financial resources to engage patients from these populations using tailored, culturally appropriate strategies.
