> The study met its primary endpoint in phase A, with a mean pain reduction of −1.9 NRS points in the VER-01 group (mean difference (MD) versus placebo = −0.6, 95% confidence interval (CI) = −0.9 to −0.3; P < 0.001).
That's not very good considering this meta-analysis[0] found that exercise had a mean difference of "−7.9 (−13.6 to −2.2)" compared to placebo for chronic low back pain. ...and the authors say that is a small effect.
