Background: Patients' hopes and expectations for low back pain treatment influence their consultation experiences and treatment outcomes. These hopes and expectations may evolve over time, potentially leading to a shift in what patients consider important before and after a consultation. Understanding the distinction between hopes and expectations, and how they evolve is important for improving patient care.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined how physical work demands influence the effectiveness of the selfBACK app, aimed at managing low-back pain, with participants categorized into low and high physical demand groups.
- Results showed that, after three months, high-demand workers using selfBACK experienced significant reductions in pain intensity, and by nine months, improvements were also noted in pain-related disability and self-efficacy, compared to usual care.
- Despite different physical demands, both low and high physical demand workers benefited similarly from the selfBACK intervention, suggesting it is effective for managing low-back pain regardless of physical work intensity.
Cost-effectiveness analysis of app-delivered self-management support (selfBACK) in addition to usual care for people with low back pain in Denmark.

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the cost-effectiveness of individually tailored self-management support, delivered via the artificial intelligence-based selfBACK app, as an add-on to usual care for people with low back pain (LBP).
Design: Secondary health-economic analysis of the selfBACK randomised controlled trial (RCT) with a 9-month follow-up conducted from a Danish national healthcare perspective (primary scenario) and a societal perspective limited to long-term productivity in the form of long-term absenteeism (secondary scenario).
Setting: Primary care and an outpatient spine clinic in Denmark.
