Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This pilot study will evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the Axiom Worldwide DRX9000 for active treatment of chronic low back pain.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Currently, there are no prospective safety and/or outcomes studies utilizing the DRX9000™ in the peer-reviewed medical literature. There are published trials utilizing similar machines which provided evidence in support of the FDA granted indications for use spinal decompression and of the DRX9000™. Axiom Worldwide has determined it will be of benefit to the continuing medical care of patients and a furthering of the scientific knowledge of the treatment of LBP to complete such a prospective evaluation using a standardized treatment protocol. This study will therefore attempt to establish and validate the safety and efficacy of this computerized spinal decompression system in the treatment of LBP and sciatica.
