Improving research into treatments for Back Pain: Can you help?
Researchers at the University of Southampton are looking to improve the way that questionnaires can be used to measure the effectiveness of treatments or therapies for back pain. We would like to know whether a new Internet version of a tried and tested back pain questionnaire could be used alongside traditional pen and paper questionnaires in future studies.
Graham Lewis, a medical student at the University of Southampton is hoping to answer this question. He is running a study which involves completing a short, simple questionnaire on the Internet and on paper. It will take as little as ten minutes to take part. He is looking for adults who currently suffer with Back Pain and who would be able to complete this short questionnaire online as well as on paper. If you are interested in taking part please contact Graham to request an invitation pack by writing to: Graham Lewis, 4th Year Student, Primary Medical Care, Aldermoor Health Centre, Aldermoor Close, Southampton FREEPOST SO165WB or by email: backpq@soton.ac.uk
The study runs until 1st April 2008.
