Primary Outcome Measures:
- To document the musculoskeletal profile of patients with low back pain [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- To determine if a particular lower back diagnosis or MSDR® score can predict which patients will respond particularly well to the DRX9000™ treatment protocol and spinal manipulative therapy. [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
| Estimated Enrollment: | 200 |
| Study Start Date: | August 2008 |

The MSDR® questionnaire establishes an individual's musculoskeletal functional status using information gathered from 1) a questionnaire the patient fills out regarding medical history, chronic medical conditions, and health risk factors; 2) anatomic pain survey completed by the patient; and 3) evaluation by a trained researcher of various patient biometric parameters related to range of motion. Stratifying an individual into a risk category with this evidence-based assessment tool then permits an assessment of which patients respond long term to therapy.
MSDR® demonstrates the ability to benchmark specific musculoskeletal findings (both clinical and sub-clinical) to ICD-9 Diagnoses supported by diagnostic, radiographic and/or MRI findings where clinically indicated.
