Usability and Acceptability of an App-Based Approach to Treat Low Back Pain: Preplanned Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial
The app "NOLA" demonstrated good usability, and participants expressed positive perceptions toward telemedicine in those who completed the intervention. Despite concerns about the lack of physical contact, the majority considered telemedicine a convenient form of health care delivery. App usage and motivation were favorable, emphasizing the potential of app-based interventions in managing LBP.
