Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
To help bridge this divide, countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Sweden, and Australia have established MSK-focused practice-based research networks (PBRNs). PBRNs are sustained collaborations between practitioners and academicians. This collaboration allows patient recruitment from diverse clinical settings and allows practitioners to be more actively involved in the research process. As a result data collected, and subsequent recommendations may have greater clinical utility than that which comes from more traditional research-only settings.
This study aims to develop a MSK focused PBRN within the Swiss chiropractic setting and describe the characteristics of clinicians recruited. It represents a collaborative effort of international researchers, Swiss chiropractic clinicians, and the chiropractic patient and clinical associations in Switzerland (Pro Chiropractic Switzerland and ChiroSuisse). Clinicians will endorse participation in the PBRN by completing an electronic study form. Once established, nested sub-studies will be conducted within this new clinical research environment. Through stakeholder engagement and institutional support, the Swiss ChiCo PBRN can serve as an important resource to advance chiropractic and MSK health services research.
