A modified Delphi study conducted with 28 experts in back pain research from 12 countries.To identify standardized definitions of low that could be consistently used by investigators prevalence studies to provide comparable data.Differences the definition population lead heterogeneity findings, and limitations or impossibilities comparing summarizing figures different studies.Back were identified 51 articles reporting population-based studies, dissected into 77 items documenting 7 elements....
Exercise is effective for prevention and management of acute chronic health conditions. However, trial descriptions exercise interventions are often suboptimal, leaving readers unclear about the content programmes. To address this, 16-item internationally endorsed Consensus on Reporting Template (CERT) was developed. The aim to present final template provide an Explanation Elaboration Statement operationalise CERT. Development CERT based EQUATOR Network methodological framework developing...
Exercise interventions are often incompletely described in reports of clinical trials, hampering evaluation results and replication implementation into practice.The aim this study was to develop a standardized method for reporting exercise programs trials: the Consensus on Reporting Template (CERT).Using EQUATOR Network's methodological framework, 137 experts were invited participate Delphi consensus study. A list 41 items identified from meta-epidemiologic 73 systematic reviews exercise....
Most episodes of acute low back pain resolve spontaneously.1 However, among those in whom and disability have persisted for over a year, few return to normal activities.

The InSpace balloon (Stryker, USA) is an innovative device used treat people with rotator cuff tears that cannot repaired. We aimed determine the effectiveness of for irreparable tears.MethodsWe conducted a double-blind, group-sequential, adaptive randomised controlled trial in 24 hospitals UK, comparing arthroscopic debridement subacromial space biceps tenotomy (debridement...
Control interventions (often called "sham," "placebo," or "attention controls") are essential for studying the efficacy mechanism of physical, psychological, and self-management in clinical trials. This article presents core recommendations designing, conducting, reporting control to establish a quality standard non-pharmacological intervention research. A framework additional considerations supports researchers' decision making this context. We also provide checklist enhance research...

Three-hundred-and-thirteen back pain sufferers completed a screening questionnaire for inflammatory pain. This was positive in 46 (15%), who were invited further examination. Only two of these patients had definite ankylosing spondylitis. Eighteen them (39%) other features associated with spondyloarthropathy. It is suggested that up to 5% may have mild form spondylitis never progress ankylosis, but whom treatment as if they be benefit.
