Is intensive patient (including pain) education effective as part of first-line care for patients with acute low back pain? This 2018 high quality randomised control trial by Traeger et al suggests not. ow.ly/UuFU30naD8x

Interested in #guidelines, #pain medication and #back pain? review by @marcoschreijenberg just appeared online. Guideline recommendations on the pharmacological management of non-specific low back pain in primary care – is there a need to change? tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Trying to teach a PhD student (and practising myself!) to abandon the use of #pvalue dichotomization to interpret a study results. It is a though job but someone has to do it. No more #statisticalsignificance.

Workplace health and safety training can get pretty technical. Are you reaching the workers you need? Our research suggests embedding essential skills into #OHS training content can help training uptake w/ Infrastructure Health and Safety Association and LiUNA 506 Training bit.ly/2IDKZPn

Systematic review and meta-analysis published in BMJ shows spinal manipulation produces similar effects to recommended therapies for chronic low back pain bmj.com/content/364/bm…

Professor MauritsvanTulder gives the keynote at #IFBNP2019 @backpainforum in Quebec City "Researchers and Policy Makers: Two worlds apart or a good partnership?"

Brilliant MauritsvanTulder talking on research and policy making! Great examples from The Netherlands!!

'Why are opioids being prescribed for muscle pain instead of exercise? they need a stretch, some strengthening,some aerobic activity'. Andrea D. Furlan MD PhD PM&R Definitely my bias as a physio.We need more people (docs,the general public, and even physios)to know this! #backpainforum #IFBNP2019

Marco Schreijerberg today presented the very preliminary results of our ongoing systematic review on the effectiveness of placebo interventions for #backpain #backpainforum

Just published: Article showing that randomised controlled trials reflected clinical practice when comparing the course of low back pain symptoms in similar populations, check: authors.elsevier.com/c/1ZtYf3BcJQ0W…
