Spinal Manipulation and Clinician-Supported Self-Management for Preventing Chronic Low Back Pain Impact: The PACBACK Randomized Clinical Trial.

この研究はインパクトが大きい可能性があると判断されました。 OEのAIによるハイインパクト指標は、論文が掲載されたジャーナルと論文自体の科学的内容の両方からのシグナルを統合することで、論文の影響力を推定します。 最先端の自然言語処理を用いて開発されたOEハイインパクトモデルは、ジャーナルのインパクトファクターのみよりも、研究の将来の引用実績をより正確に予測します。 これにより、臨床的に意義のある研究をより早く認識することができ、読者は将来の診療を形成する可能性が最も高い論文に焦点を当てることができます。

研究概要

1000 patients with acute or subacute low back pain (LBP) at moderate to high risk of developing chronic pain were randomized to receive clinician-supported self-management (SSM), spinal manipulation therapy (SMT), combined SSM and SMT, or guideline-based medical care (MC). The primary outcome of interest was LBP impact, measured using the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Task Force chronic LBP impact score, averaged over months 10 to 12. Secondary outcomes included chronic pain development, pain interference with daily activities, healthcare and medication use, work productivity, functional disability, patient satisfaction, and psychological outcomes. Outcomes were assessed up to 12 months. Overall, the results revealed that SSM, alone or combined with SMT, significantly reduced LBP impact compared with MC, although the differences were small. SMT alone did not significantly improve LBP impact, and adding SMT to SSM provided no additional benefit. These findings suggested that clinician-supported biopsychosocial self-management could help prevent chronic disabling LBP in patients at increased risk.
