"This study describes narratives from patients discharged without surgery following consultations with orthopaedic professionals for persistent and debilitating lower back pain. Findings suggest that these interactions are distressful to patients, and that patients require comprehensive and specific reassurance to promote self‐management. The findings contribute a unique insight into the special needs of people with complex […]
"Disc herniation is strongly associated with the progression of DD. Surprisingly, there was strong evidence that smoking, occupation, and several other factors were not associated with the progression of DD. Only one genetic variant may have a protective effect on progression, otherwise there was conflicting or only limited evidence for most prognostic factors. Future research […]
"The study will utilize normal clinical procedures, which should aid the transferability and external validity of the results. The study will provide knowledge regarding the underlying mechanisms of the effects of SMT. Furthermore, the study will examine whether a CPM test is predictive of treatment outcome in a population of patients with recurrent and persistent […]
"This study demonstrates the unique and positive contributions chiropractic students make to accreditation evaluation teams. The results were less positive concerning students on ECCE General Council due to the lack of specific training for their roles and the short time-frame of their membership. Therefore, the ECCE has created training workshops and expanded the time period […]
"The aim of this paper is to discuss our current scientific understanding of pain and present why additional factors should be considered in conservative CLBP management. In addition to pain intensity, we recommend that clinicians should consider assessing the multidimensional nature of CLBP by including physical (disability, muscular strength and endurance, performance in activities of […]

"CFT reduced disability, but not pain, at 6 and 12 months compared with the group-based exercise and education intervention. Future research should examine whether the greater reduction in disability achieved by CFT renders worthwhile differences for health systems and patients."Cognitive functional therapy compared with a group-based exercise and education intervention for chronic low back pain: […]
"Studies reporting this assessment in subjects with cervical spondylosis (CS) have not previously been investigated… This study demonstrated that cervical proprioceptive errors (JPEs) are significantly larger in the CS group than in the healthy control group indicating that cervical proprioception is impaired in subjects with CS. Cervical proprioceptive errors in the CS group significantly and […]
Congratulations to senior scientist, Lise Hestbaek DC, PhD, for this publication. Experience of early-life pain is seemingly associated with spinal pain in pre-adolescence. The study highlights that early-life painful experiences can influence programming future pain responses.Early-life programming of pain sensation? Spinal pain in pre-adolescents with pain experience in early life What is Known: • Spinal […]
Analyzing molecular clocks in the form of nonenzymatically deamidated proteins, we unmasked a position-dependent gradient (distal high, proximal low) of protein turnover, indicative of a gradient of tissue anabolism reflecting innate tissue repair capacity in human lower limb cartilages that is associated with expression of limb-regenerative microRNAs. This association shows a potential link to a […]
This article reviews the evidence regarding the clinical detection and diagnosis of SIJ movement dysfunction. In particular, it questions the continued use of assessing movement dysfunction despite mounting evidence undermining the biological plausibility and subsequent treatment paradigms based on such diagnoses. Clinicians are encouraged to align their assessment methods and explanatory models to contemporary science […]
In this study on patients with chronic low back pain and Modic changes at the level of a previous disc herniation, three months of treatment with amoxicillin did not provide a clinically important benefit compared with placebo. Secondary analyses and sensitivity analyses supported this finding. Therefore, our results do not support the use of antibiotic […]

Four main adverse joint findings have been structurally observed in patients after IACS injections: accelerated OA progression, subchondral insufficiency fracture, complications of osteonecrosis, and rapid joint destruction, including bone loss. Physicians, including radiologists, should be familiar with imaging findings and patient characteristics that may help them identify potential joints at risk for such events. The […]

Smoking is most strongly associated with spine pain (odds ratio [OR] = 2.89, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.21-3.77), followed by headache (OR = 2.47, 95% CI = 1.73-3.53), trunk pain (OR = 2.17, 95% CI = 1.45-2.74), and limb pain (OR = 1.99, 95% CI = 1.45-2.73). Current smoking is associated with pain in […]

Concentrations of IL-8 in CSF were significantly higher in LDH patients compared to DDD patients and controls.•In LDH patients there was a positive correlation of IL-8 concentrations between CSF and serum.•Elevated IL-8 in CSF was associated with increased pain intensity and spinal pressure pain sensitivity in LDH.•IL-6, IL-8 and TSPO expression in IVD was higher […]
Measures that represent the sacral morphology, particularly SK, and the position of the sacrum in space correlated strongly with the PI and contributed strongly to a predictive equation. These findings may direct further efforts to explore how the PI is determined and therefore how it may be modified.Pelvic Incidence: Computed Tomography Study Evaluating Correlation with […]
In fact, our review will highlight many pain neuroimaging studies that have reported some brainstem involvement in nociceptive processing and chronic pain pathology. However, we note that with recent advances in neuroimaging leading to improved spatial and temporal resolution, more studies are needed that take advantage of data collection and analysis methods focused on the […]
