Beneficial and harmful effects of physical activity on care-seeking for low back pain: the AUTBACK study.

Purpose: People who seek more care for low back pain (LBP) tend to experience poorer recovery (e.g. higher pain and disability levels).

The impact of aggregate positive lifestyle behaviors on low back pain resilience and care seeking.

Background Context: Low back pain (LBP) is a global issue, and the high associated costs are mainly attributed to a small proportion of people with LBP who seek care. Importantly, the impact of aggregate positive lifestyle behaviors on LBP resilience and care seeking is not known.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between positive lifestyle behaviors and LBP resilience.

TANGO: Development of Consumer Information Leaflets to Support TAperiNG of Opioids in Older Adults with Low Back Pain and Hip and Knee Osteoarthritis.

Introduction: Globally, the rate of opioid prescription is high for chronic musculoskeletal conditions despite guidelines recommending against their use as their adverse effects outweigh their modest benefit. Deprescribing opioids is a complex process that can be hindered by multiple prescriber- and patient-related barriers. These include fear of the process of, or outcomes from, weaning medications, or a lack of ongoing support.
