Low back pain can lead to neuroplastic changes in the central nervous system, known as nociplastic pain. As nociplastic pain may be provoked by premorbid sensory profiles, such profiles may be prognostic in the development of nociplastic pain over time. To investigate whether four sensory profiles are prognostic in the development of symptoms of nociplastic pain in people with acute low back pain.Background
Objectives
Sensory profiles classified in Low Registration, Sensory Sensitive, Sensation Avoiding and Sensation Seeking may be used in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain (CLBP) to develop a more personalized treatment program. Although psychometric properties have not been studied up till now the Adult Adolescent Sensory Profile (AASP) can be used to measure sensory profiles in CLBP patients. The study aim was to asses internal consistency, test-retest reliability, agreement and construct validity of the AASP in a CLBP population with nociplastic pain.Introduction
