SPORT:
The Spine Patient Outcomes Research Trial
The Spine Patient Outcomes Research Trial
SPORT is the first comprehensive study to look at different ways of treating low
back and leg pain and how effective they are for patients. The trial was funded by
the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in recognition of how prevalent back problems are,
and how disabling they can be. The research is meant to give patients and their physicians
solid information to help guide them as they make decisions about how to treat their conditions.
