Purpose of the Study

To assess the test-retest reliability, construct validity and determine the cut-off scoret of BACKonLINE™ for people with LBP.

Background

Appropriate treatment for Low back pain (LBP) is vital, however patients can wait for 14–24 weeks on NHS Physiotherapy lists. Many factors contribute to LBP and initially can be due to peripheral tissue damage. However, persistent LBP is associated with amplification in pain processing in the central nervous system (central sensitisation-CS). CS often results in poorer outcomes and often requires longer management making timely assessment and appropriate management crucial.

An online self-assessment and self-management tool (BACKonLINE™) for discerning between characteristics of predominantly centrally (CD) or peripherally (PD) driven LBP was developed using a Delphi study.

Purpose of the Study

To develop an online self-assessment and self-management tool (BACKonLINE™) for discerning between people with characteristics of predominantly centrally (CD) or peripherally (PD) driven LBP.

Background

Low back pain (LBP) may worsen with time, making appropriate treatment important. In the NHS Physiotherapy services LBP patients may wait for 14–24 weeks for treatments. Many factors contribute to LBP, but it is predominantly initially viewed as a result of peripheral tissue damage. However, evidence show that persistent LBP is associated with amplification in pain processing in the central nervous system (central sensitisation). Sometimes, this may drive symptoms, resulting in poorer outcomes and requiring longer management. Timely assessment and appropriate management is therefore paramount.
