Introduction And Objective: Certain medical practices, both diagnostic and therapeutic, that have not been proven to be effective and do not add value to healthcare, are not uncommon. The aim of this document is to provide a list of «Not to do» recommendations in the medical specialty of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.
Material And Method: For the development of this project, which is coordinated by the Vocalía de Sociedades Filiales, Sociedades Autonómicas y Grupos de Trabajo de la Sociedad Española de Rehabilitación (SERMEF), specific recommendations are requested from Grupos de Trabajo and Sociedades Filiales of each specific field of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, as experts in the corresponding intervention areas. A maximum of three recommendations per sub-specialty area are selected.
Results: Recommendations «Not to do» are collected from SENR/SERDACE/NRN (Sociedad Española de Neurorrehabilitación/Sociedad Española de Rehabilitación en Daño Cerebral/Grupo de Trabajo Neurorrehabilitación Norte), SORECAR (Sociedad Española de Rehabilitación Cardiorrespiratoria), ArtroReha (Grupo de Trabajo de Rehabilitación en Artrosis), GTRVEST (Grupo de Trabajo de Rehabilitación Vestibular), GTLINF (Grupo de Trabajo de Rehabilitación de Linfedema), GTRO (Grupo de Trabajo de Rehabilitación en Osteoporosis), Rehabilitación Parálisis Facial. Out of a total of 35 recommendations, supported by scientific evidence and medical experience, 18 have been selected. The selection criteria are based on the relevance, pragmatism and specificity of the recommendations. Each recommendation is accompanied by a text that clarifies and/or develops the statement.
Conclusions: This project includes a series of recommendations, by expert rehabilitation physicians, of actions not to be performed while delivering medical assistance. SERMEF offers a list of recommendations «Not to do in Rehabilitation and Physical Medicine», supported by scientific evidence and clinical experience.

Despite being referenced in the literature for over a decade, the term "mixed pain" has hardly been formally defined. The strict binary classification of pain as purely neuropathic or nociceptive left a good proportion of patients unclassified; even the introduction of the term "nociplastic pain" in the International Association for the Study of Pain terminology leaves out patients who clinically present with a substantial overlap of nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic symptoms. For these patients the term "mixed pain" is becoming increasingly recognized and accepted by the scientific community.
