Exercise for the prevention of low back pain recurrences is recommended, but under-researched. The effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a walking program for preventing low back pain recurrence remains unknown. This a priori statistical analysis plan describes the methods of analysis for the WalkBack trial.

Some magnetic resonance imaging findings may predict future low back pain and disability: a systematic review – Christopher S Han et al.

Do magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings predict future low back pain (LBP), associated disability and global recovery in people with current LBP? Do MRI findings predict these outcomes in people with no current LBP? Do MRI findings predict these outcomes in a mixed sample of people with [...]

Spinal cord stimulation for low back pain – Adrian C Traeger et al.

Lucia Marcello2023-04-14T13:48:11+10:00Back pain, Low back pain, Musculoskeletal, Pain, Publications|

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a surgical intervention used to treat persistent low back pain. SCS is thought to modulate pain by sending electrical signals via implanted electrodes into the spinal cord. The long term benefits and harms of SCS for people with low back [...]

Prevalence and characteristics of musculoskeletal complaints in primary care: an analysis from the population level and analysis reporting (POLAR) database – Romi Haas et al.

The burden of MSK complaints at the primary care level is high as evidenced by the prevalence of people with musculoskeletal complaints presenting to a general practitioner, the preponderance of comorbidities and the numerous consultations per year. Identification and evaluation of strategies to reduce this [...]

Prognosis of a new episode of low-back pain in a community inception cohort – Tarcisio F. de Campos et al.

Lucia Marcello2023-03-01T13:31:27+11:00Health literacy, Low back pain, Musculoskeletal, Pain, Publications|

Most studies investigating the prognosis of low back pain (LBP) enrol people presenting for care, rather than all people who have an episode of LBP. We aimed to describe the prognosis of an acute episode of LBP in a community inception cohort.

Public and patient perceptions of diagnostic labels for non-specific low back pain: a content analysis – Mary O’Keeffe et. al

An online randomised experiment found that the labels lumbar sprain, non-specific low back pain (LBP), and episode of back pain reduced perceived need for imaging, surgery and second opinions compared to disc bulge, degeneration, and arthritis among 1447 participants with and without LBP. They also reduced perceived seriousness of LBP and increased recovery expectations.

The slow de-implementation of non-evidence-based treatments in low back pain hospital care-Trends in treatments using Dutch hospital register data from 1991 to 2018 – Pieter Coenen et al

In the Netherlands, de-implementation of five non-recommended hospital LBP treatments, if at all, took several decades. Although de-implementation was substantial, slow de-implementation has likely resulted in considerable waste of resources and avoidable harm to many patients in Dutch hospitals.

Physiotherapists have some hesitations and unmet needs regarding delivery of exercise programs for low back pain prevention in adults: A qualitative interview study – Julie Ayre et al

Thomas Dakin2023-01-11T16:18:33+11:00Back pain, Low back pain, Publications|

Many of the physiotherapists had some hesitations and unmet needs regarding delivery of exercise programs for secondary prevention of low back pain. Clinicians may find it useful to ask patients directly about their interest in prevention programs and work with interested patients to develop tailored, [...]

It’s safe to move! A protocol for a randomised controlled trial investigating the effect of a video designed to increase people’s confidence becoming more active despite back pain – Edel O’Hagen et al

Thomas Dakin2023-01-11T16:18:36+11:00Back pain, Low back pain, Publications|

This trial aims to investigate the effectiveness of a public health campaign to increase people’s confidence in becoming more active despite low back pain in comparison with no intervention.

Effect of diagnostic labelling on management intentions for non-specific low back pain: a randomised scenario-based experiment – Mary O’Keeffe et al.

Thomas Dakin2023-01-11T16:18:39+11:00Back pain, Low back pain, Publications|

We examined the effect of labelling low back pain (LBP) on beliefs about imaging, surgery, second opinion, seriousness, recovery, work, and physical activities.
