Treatment-Based Classification Of Low Back Pain – Who Are The Unclear Classifications?, T R. Stanton, J M. Fritz, A T. Apeldoorn, Benedict M. Wand, M J. Hancock

Physiotherapy Conference Papers

A recent focus in low back pain research has been to identify patient subgroups that respond best to certain treatments. To integrate these subgroup findings into a useable form, a treatment-based classification algorithm for LBP was created.1,2 To allow the algorithm to be comprehensive – eg, provide a classification for all patients – additional criteria are provided to assist therapists’ decisions for patients who do not clearly meet a treatment subgroup (unclear classifications).

Recent research found that approximately 34% of patients will receive unclear classifications using the algorithm.3 It has also been shown that the reliability of the …

Poster Presentation

Non-invasive brain stimulation techniques aim to induce an electrical stimulation of the brain in an attempt to reduce chronic pain by directly altering brain activity. They include repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). These approaches to pain treatment are relatively novel. It is important to assess the existing literature robustly to ascertain the current level of supporting evidence and to inform future research and potential clinical use.
