Nonspecific back pain (NSBP) contributes greatly to the overall burden of disease from musculoskeletal conditions. Digital therapeutics (DTx) aims address excess demand for movement and exercise therapy resulting this spectrum This study investigate differential therapeutic response NSBP different use profiles a digital home program. Methods: used PSM model comparatively assess achievement clinically relevant improvement among patients who exhibit high (HU), intermediate (IU), low (LU), or sub-LU profile. Sensitivity analyses with commonly accepted thresholds improvements were conducted. Results: Higher show higher probability achieving self-reported intensities. Additionally, any level is associated significant increase in improvement. Conclusion: To enable optimal effectiveness DTx programs, an HU profile should be pursued. finding line earlier guidance benefit conventional underscores importance cross-disciplinary effort patients, healthcare professionals system stakeholders alike maximize effect DTx.
