Objective: To investigate the Optimal Screening for Prediction of Referral and Outcome Yellow Flag (OSPRO-YF) tool for longitudinal monitoring of pain associated distress with the goal of improving prediction of 50% reduction in pain
In this paper the chronicity of pain in non-specific pain syndromes is discussed. Experts in the study of pain with several professional backgrounds in rehabilitation are the authors of this paper. Clinical experience and literature form the basis of the paper. Non-specific low back pain and Complex
Psychosocial factors have the potential to influence an acute musculoskeletal pain problem at three distinct phases: the onset of pain; the seeking and receiving of health care and income support; and the development of chronic pain-related disability and work loss. Clinical management that ignores
BACKGROUND
During the last 20 years a great number of studies have emphasized the potential role of psychological factors as relevant predictors for the first onset of back pain as well as for the development of chronic pain. The formulation of a biopsychosocial perspective of the etiology and
Originally the term "yellow flags" was used to describe psychosocial prognostic factors for the development of disability following the onset of musculoskeletal pain. The identification of yellow flags through early screening was expected to prompt the application of intervention guidelines to
The belief that pain is a direct result of tissue damage has dominated medical thinking since the mid 20th Century. Several schools of psychological thought proffered linear causal models to explain non-physical pain observations such as phantom limb pain and the effects of placebo interventions.
Back pain is a significant medical problem and one of the most common causes of medical consultations and missed work. In acute low back pain, patients with "red flags" indicating a serious underlying spinal or extraspinal disease must be identified by medical evaluation. Most cases of acute back
OBJECTIVE
To assess whether pre-existing psychiatric diagnoses increase the likelihood of transitioning from sub-acute to chronic back pain.
METHODS
Prospective cohort study.
METHODS
Men (N = 140) experiencing a first onset of low back pain (LBP) were examined for lifetime psychiatric disorders
There is an increased need for determining which patients with musculoskeletal pain benefit from additional diagnostic testing or psychologically informed intervention. The Optimal Screening for Prediction of Referral and Outcome (OSPRO) cohort studies were designed to develop and validate standard
The paper is devoted to the most complicated aspects of low back pain. The differences between specific and nonspecific low back pain using the "red flags" system is highlighted. The authors consider the causes of pain chronification (the "yellow flags" system) and the necessity of using a
BACKGROUND
Low back pain accounts for approximately 5% of all general practice consultations. Although the majority of patients will have somatic low back pain of musculoskeletal origin, vigilance in excluding 'red flag' conditions is paramount. The identification of 'yellow flags', ie. psychosocial
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the acceptability and usefulness of the Washington State Opioid Dosing Guideline (Guideline) developed for primary care providers for the treatment of chronic noncancer pain. The Guideline contains innovative tools, such as an online dosing calculator, and recommendations to
