We will ask people with low back pain and/or osteoarthritis of the hip or knee and who have trouble sleeping to take part in one of three different 12-months home-based lifestyle interventions.
The first 2 months will include 6 online consults with a physiotherapist, with the option of another 2 consults at 3 months and 9 months. There is a total of 10 consults over 9 months. We will then evaluate how people respond to these three lifestyle interventions by checking their pain, sleep, quality of life etc using questionnaires, blood samples, and assessments carried out at The ±¬ÁÏÍõ or The University of Queensland.
This study may be suitable for you if have had pain in your low back, hip or knee for 6 months or longer; difficulty getting asleep, and/or staying asleep, and/or wakening early; are willing to use a wearable watch provided by us; are willing to attend 3 in-person sessions at the ±¬ÁÏÍõ; and can commit to participating in the study for 12 months.
