Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP) is a major and highly prevalent health problem. Given the high number of papers available, clinicians might be overwhelmed by evidence on CLBP management. Taking into account scale costs CLBP, it imperative that healthcare professionals have access to up-to-date, evidence-based information assist them in treatment decision-making. Therefore, this paper provides state-of-the-art overview best non-invasive rehabilitation for CLBP. together up-to-date from...

Abstract Pain neuroscience education (PNE) and motivational interviewing (MI) have been widely implemented tested in the field of chronic pain management, both strategies shown to be effective short term (small effect sizes) for management pain. PNE uses contemporary science educate patients about biopsychosocial nature chronicity their experience. The goal is optimize patients’ beliefs/perceptions facilitate acquisition adaptive pain–coping strategies. MI, on other hand, a patient-centered...

Chronic pain is the most prevalent disease worldwide, leading to substantial disability and socioeconomic burden. Therefore, it can be regarded as a public health major challenge scientists, clinicians affected individuals. Behavioral lifestyle factors, such as, physical (in)activity, stress, poor sleep an unhealthy diet are increasingly recognized perpetuating factors for chronic pain. Yet, current management options patients with often do not address in personalized multimodal fashion....

Pain after cancer remains underestimated and undertreated. Precision medicine is a recent concept that refers to the ability classify patients into subgroups differ in their susceptibility to, biology, or prognosis of particular disease, response specific treatment, thus tailor treatment individual patient characteristics. Applying this pain cancer, post-cancer three major phenotypes (i.e. nociceptive, neuropathic, nociplastic pain) accordingly, an emerging issue. This especially relevant...

BackgroundPerioperative education should be improved to decrease unfavourable outcomes after lumbar surgery. This trial aimed compare effectiveness in terms of pain, quality life, pain cognition, surgical experience, healthcare use, work resumption, and cost-effectiveness perioperative neuroscience (PPNE) vs traditional biomedical (perioperative [PBE]) people undergoing surgery for radiculopathy.MethodsIn this multicentre RCT (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02630732), patients radiculopathy three...

Despite scientific progress with regard to pain neuroscience, perioperative education tends stick the biomedical model. This may involve, for example, explaining surgical procedure or 'back school' (education that focuses on biomechanics of lumbar spine and ergonomics). Current strategies are based model not only ineffective, they can even increase anxiety fear in patients undergoing spinal surgery. Therefore, neuroscience is proposed as a dramatic shift educating prior following surgery...

Around 20% of patients undergoing surgery for lumbar radiculopathy develop chronic pain after surgery, leading to high socioeconomic burden. Current perioperative interventions, including education and rehabilitation, are not always effective in preventing prolonged or postoperative disability. Here, a shift educational intervention from biomedical towards biopsychosocial approach people scheduled is proposed. Pain neuroscience (PNE) that aims decrease the threat value by reconceptualizing...
