Objectives: This exploratory study aimed to investigate the temporal development of
somatosensory changes from the acute stage of LBP to up to 4 months from onset. Methods …

Objectives: Low back pain (LBP) is the most commonly reported chronic pain condition. In
this study, a clinically relevant, induced-LBP paradigm was used to study sensory …

Objective. Research on chronic low back pain (cLBP) has focused heavily on structural
abnormalities with emphasis on diagnostic imaging. However, for many cLBP patients …

Central sensitization is considered to have a pathophysiological role in chronic low back
pain (LBP). Whether individuals with increased central sensitization early in their condition …

(1) Background: Peripheral, as well as central, sensitization have been described in chronic
low back pain (cLBP). The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of …

Objective: Altered balance in nociception in response to noxious stimuli is commonly
reported in chronic low back pain (LBP). However, it is unclear whether an improvement in …

The aim of this case-control study was to examine differences in neural correlates of pain
facilitatory and inhibitory mechanisms between acute low back pain (LBP) patients and …

Pain-related fear and pain catastrophizing are associated with disability and actual
performance in chronic pain patients. In acute low back pain (LBP), little is known about the …

Objectives: Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST) is used to test somatosensory functioning in
on people with chronic LBP in secondary/tertiary health care facilities. Studies using QST …

Background It would be desirable to identify patients with acute low back pain (ALBP) who
are at high risk for transition to chronic pain early in the course of their disease. This would …
