Economic impact of work disability due to chronic low back pain from the patient perspective.

Objectives: Low back pain (LBP) is one of the main expenditure items for health systems. Data on the economic impact of LBP are uncommon from the patient perspective. The aim of this study was to estimate the economic impact of work disability related to chronic LBP from the patient perspective.

Barriers and facilitators to bracing in adults with painful degenerative scoliosis: a single-centred mixed-method feasibility study.

Background: Conservative treatments including bracing and exercise therapy are prescribed on the first-line in adults with degenerative scoliosis. However, adherence to conservative treatments is low. We aimed to assess barriers and facilitators to bracing in adults with painful degenerative scoliosis.

Conservative treatment for chronic coccydynia: a 36-month prospective observational study of 115 patients.

Purpose: To describe long-term outcomes of conservative treatment for chronic coccydynia.

Methods: We conducted a 36-month prospective observational study. Adults with chronic coccydynia (> 2 months) were included.

Lumbosacral immobilization following glucocorticoid intradiscal injection in patients with chronic low back pain and active discopathy: A feasibility study.

Background: In people with chronic low back pain (cLBP) and active discopathy, glucocorticoid intradiscal injection (GC IDI) reduces LBP in the short-term. Lumbosacral immobilization may be useful to obtain long-term results.

Objective: To assess the feasibility of a lumbosacral immobilization using a pantaloon cast following GC IDI in people with cLBP sand active discopathy.
