Guideline adherence of physiotherapists in the treatment of patients with low back pain: A qualitative study

Gijs Petrus Gerardus Lemmers et al.

Summary: The study aims to understand the considerations of Dutch physiotherapists regarding adherence to the national physiotherapy guideline for the treatment of low back pain. The results indicate that physiotherapists feel the guideline should provide more information on psychosocial factors and treatment options. They also face challenges in addressing patient expectations conflicting with guideline recommendations. To improve adherence, the guideline should offer more guidance on addressing psychosocial factors, and physiotherapists should receive training in communication skills. A more extensive implementation process is also needed.

Stratified care to prevent chronic low back pain in high-risk patients: The TARGET trial. A multi-site pragmatic cluster randomized trial

Anthony Delitto et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of a stratified care approach on the transition to chronic low back pain and self-reported disability in patients with acute low back pain. Results showed that although the intervention group had an advantage in recommending physical therapy, it did not reduce the rate of transition to chronic low back pain. Additionally, opioid and imaging prescribing rates were found to be inconsistent with clinical guidelines.
