Evaluating the effectiveness of patient-tailored treatment for patients with non-specific (sub)acute neck pain.

Background: An important issue in the debate about best practice management of non-specific neck pain (NSNP) is the effectiveness of tailored versus generalized interventions.

Methods: Participants with (sub)acute NSNP were randomly allocated to a patient-tailored treatment (PTT), non-patient-tailored treatment (NPTT) or control group (no intervention). The outcome measures were pain (NPRS), disability (NDI), global perceived effect and satisfaction (GPES), productivity costs, and medical consumption.

Development of culturally sensitive pain neuroscience education materials for Hausa-speaking patients with chronic spinal pain: A modified Delphi study.

This study aimed to develop culturally sensitive pain neuroscience education (PNE) materials for Hausa speaking patients with chronic spinal pain (CSP). PNE is a program of teaching patients about pain that has gained considerable attention in research and is increasingly used during physical therapy for patients with chronic pain. It helps in decreasing pain, disability, fear-avoidance, pain catastrophization, movement restriction, and health care utilization among patients with chronic pain.

Evaluating the effectiveness of patient tailored treatment for patients with non-specific low back pain: A systematic review.

Objective: This systematic review summarizes the relevant literature on the effectiveness of tailored interventions in non-specific low back pain (NSLBP).

Methods: The search strategy has been executed in December 2019 in the electronic databases PubMed, Web of Science and Embase. Study selection, data extraction and quality assessment were done independently by two authors.

Consensus among musculoskeletal experts for the management of patients with headache by physiotherapists? A delphi study.

Background: Though a large amount of research on the management of headache has been conducted, the clinical effectiveness of these treatments remains unclear.

Objectives: To reach consensus among international musculoskeletal experts on what the most appropriate management is in patients that suffer from headache.

Design: Expert group and Delphi-study.

The interrater reliability of a pain mechanisms-based classification for patients with nonspecific neck pain.

Objective: To examine the interrater reliability and agreement of a pain mechanisms-based classification for patients with nonspecific neck pain (NSNP).

Methods: Design - Observational, cross-sectional reliability study with a simultaneous examiner design.

Setting: University hospital-based outpatient physical therapy clinic.
