Mechanisms of placebo analgesia: A dual-process model informed by insights from cross-species comparisons. We identify substantial overlap between the circuits involved in human placebo analgesia and those that mediate multiple forms of context-based modulation of pain behavior in rodents, including…
In the spine or in the brain? Recent advances in pain neuroscience applied in the intervention for low back pain. Applying contemporary pain neuroscience to improve care for people with CLBP includes identifying relevant pain mechanisms to steer intervention, addressing…

Accelerometer-Determined Physical Activity and Clinical Low Back Pain Measures in Adolescents With Chronic or Subacute Recurrent Low Back Pain. We found no important relationship between objectively measured physical activity and self-reported LBP intensity, disability, or quality of life in adolescents…
Hypoalgesic effects of three different manual therapy techniques on cervical spine and psychological interaction: A randomized clinical trial. All the MT techniques studied produced local and segmental hypoalgesic effects, supporting the results of previous studies studying the individual interventions. Interaction…
The cognitive impact of chronic low back pain: Positive effect of multidisciplinary pain therapy. These findings show that patients with cLBP have slowed speeds of information processing and working memory, but no alteration in attention and recognition memory. There are…
3D Gait Analysis With and Without an Orthopedic Walking Boot The walking boot alters the gait in the same way as those with existing LLD, putting them at risk for development of secondary knee, hip, and low back pain during…
Understanding Adolescent Low Back Pain From a Multidimensional Perspective: Implications for Management. In most cases, we recommend a cognitive functional approach that challenges negative LBP beliefs, educates adolescents regarding factors associated with their LBP, restores functional capacity where it is…
Muscle Coordination and the Development of Musculoskeletal Disorders. The present article examines the hypothesis that each individual has unique muscle coordination strategies (or signatures) that will have specific mechanical effects on their musculoskeletal system. As such, some strategies would make…
Healthy lifestyle behavior and risk of long duration troublesome neck pain or low back pain among men and women: results from the Stockholm Public Health Cohort. An HLB seems to be protective for long duration troublesome LBP in men, and…
