One important aspect often neglected when implementing evidence-based guidelines is the patient's participation in clinical decision making. In line with the two most important paradigm shifts in health care, Evidence-based Practice and Shared Decision Making, patients are expected to contribute to healthcare decisions via their [...]

Unique considerations for exercise programs to prevent future low back pain: the patient perspective – Julie Ayre et al.

There is moderate quality evidence that exercise can help to prevent future low back pain (LBP). This study aimed to explore patient needs and preferences for exercise programs to prevent LBP and the outcomes of these programs that would be most important to a patient.

What Constitutes “Appropriate Care” for Low Back Pain?: Point-of-Care Clinical Indicators From Guideline Evidence and Experts (the STANDING Collaboration Project) – Louise Wiles et al.

To provide proof of concept for an alternative method for creating sets of nationally-agreed point-of-care clinical indicators, and obtain consensus among end-user groups on “appropriate care” for the assessment, diagnosis, acute, and ongoing care of people with low back pain.

What messages predict intention to self-manage low back pain? A study of attitudes towards patient education – Edel O’Hagan et al.

This observational study evaluated people's attitudes towards educational statements and tested whether this predicted intention to self-manage low back pain (LBP). People with or without LBP who were older than 18 years and fluent in written English were recruited. Participants completed an online survey asking [...]

Do patients with acute low back pain in emergency departments have more severe symptoms than those in general practice? A systematic review with meta-analysis – Crystian Oliveira et al.

Thomas Dakin2023-01-11T16:19:35+11:00Back pain, Low back pain, Publications|

There is a common belief that patients presenting to emergency departments have more severe pain levels and functional limitations than those in general practice. The aim of this systematic review was to compare pain and disability levels of patients with acute low back pain presenting [...]

Consumer understanding of terms used in imaging reports requested for low back pain: a cross-sectional survey – Caitlin Farmer et al.

Thomas Dakin2023-01-11T16:20:21+11:00Back pain, Low back pain, Publications|

This study investigated (1) self-reported societal comprehension of common and usually non-serious terms found in lumbar spine imaging reports and (2) its relationship to perceived seriousness, likely persistence of low back pain (LBP), fear of movement, back beliefs and history and intensity of LBP.

Association of Lumbar MRI Findings with Current and Future Back Pain in a Population-Based Cohort Study – Richard Kasch et al.

Thomas Dakin2023-01-11T16:20:24+11:00Back pain, Low back pain, Publications|

This study examined associations between common lumbar degenerative changes observed on MRI and present or future low back pain (LBP). The association between lumbar MRI degenerative findings and LBP is unclear and longitudinal studies are sparse.

Association of Lumbar MRI Findings with Current and Future Back Pain in a Population-Based Cohort Study – Richard Kasch et al.

Thomas Dakin2023-01-11T16:20:26+11:00Back pain, Low back pain, Publications|

This study examined associations between common lumbar degenerative changes observed on MRI and present or future low back pain (LBP). It showed that the MRI degenerative findings examined, individually or in combination, do not have clinically important associations with LBP, with almost all effects less [...]

Understanding overuse of diagnostic imaging for patients with low back pain in the Emergency Department: a qualitative study – Johan Blokzijl et al.

Thomas Dakin2023-01-11T16:20:27+11:00Back pain, Imaging, Low back pain, Publications|

Overuse of lumbar imaging in the Emergency Department is a well-recognised healthcare challenge. Studies to date have not provided robust evidence that available interventions can reduce overuse. For an intervention aimed at reducing imaging to be effective, insight into how both patients and clinicians view [...]

Effect of COVID-19 on management of patients with low back pain in the emergency department – Sweekriti Sharma et al.

Thomas Dakin2024-02-11T15:19:49+11:00Back pain, COVID-19, Low back pain, Publications|

Patients presenting to Emergency Department (ED) with non-specific low back pain can receive more unnecessary, intensive and costly care than is recommended. The COVID-19 pandemic has provided an unprecedented opportunity to examine how health systems prioritise necessary care that provides clear benefits to patients. The [...]
