Overview
The JAPET.W+ medical device is a new dynamic distraction support system. It could be considered as a new solution in the therapeutic arsenal for managing common low back pain. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of this device among the two targeted populations during daily use. Each patient will be asked to estimate the intensity of their low back pain several times during the clinical investigation. Our main hypothesis is a reduction in low back pain while wearing the device. The secondary hypothesis is a decrease in activity limitations, an increase in participation, an improvement in quality of life, and a reduction in healthcare product and medication consumption.
