In the Original Investigation titled, “Efficacy of Therapeutic Aquatic Exercise vs Physical Therapy Modalities for Patients With Chronic Low Back Pain: A Randomized Clinical Trial,”1 published January 7, 2022, there were errors in the article text, Table 3, and Supplements 1 and 2. First, a numeric error appeared in Table 3. The value for FABQ total category at 3 months in the physical therapy modalities group given as “23.32” should have been “33.32.” In addition, the trial protocol in Supplement 1 included pain as a primary outcome, which was not consistent with the published article. Other secondary outcomes were missing from the Outcomes Measures. The minimal clinically important findings in Results required updates. Finally, eTable 1 of Supplement 2 categories were given incorrectly with results of statistical tests that should not have been included for baseline characteristics, and eTable 2 contained entry errors on the rating scale for assessment of pain. The authors have explained what happened in a Comment,2 and this article has been corrected with updated Supplement materials.1
