ARBOR-Telehealth, an NIH Collaboratory Trial, is evaluating the use of a telehealth physical therapy strategy for patients who present to primary care clinics with low back pain in rural communities. A secondary aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness of the study’s risk-stratification approach. Learn more about ARBOR-Telehealth.
