A remote first nation community-informed virtual care approach to chronic back pain management: a mixed methods study – Summary by Liv Harley Street Hospital

Chronic back pain (CBP) is a widespread public health issue. There is a lack of community-based care options for Indigenous Peoples with CBP. A virtual care clinic co-designed with community was implemented in the Cree Community of Pelican Narrows using remote presence (RPR) technology. Methods We used a community-based participatory action framework and pre-post design to evaluate this intervention. Pain, quality of life and experience outcomes were measured. An assessment was provided by a…

Enhancing chronic neck pain management: integrating SFBC and digital mental health screening – Summary by Liv Harley Street Hospital

Chronic nonspecific neck pain (CNSNP) and degenerative cervical spondylosis (DCS) are common musculoskeletal disorders that significantly impact quality of life. Current management strategies focus primarily on physical therapies, such as muscle strengthening and postural correction. However, these treatments often overlook the psychological factors that influence pain perception and management. This manuscript proposes an integrated approach combining Solution-Focused Brief Counseling (SFBC)…

Perceptions and use of self-management support strategies to improve the management of spine pain patients in a French-Canadian chiropractic teaching program: a mixed method study – Summary by Liv Harley Street Hospital

CONCLUSION: Although patients demonstrated moderate-to-high activation, EBP and SMSS implementation among interns and supervisor was limited. Treatment orientation, practice style, and contextual factors highlight the need for targeted educational and organizational strategies to bridge the knowledge-practice gap.

Comparison of Percutaneous 60-Day Peripheral Nerve Stimulation of the Lumbar Medial Branches to Usual Care with Standard Interventional Management for Chronic Low Back Pain-a Multicenter Pragmatic Randomized Controlled Trial (RESET) – Summary by Liv Harley Street Hospital

CONCLUSIONS: This prospective multicenter pragmatic RCT met its Primary Clinical Endpoint and found that more participants with CLBP reported pain relief at 3 months after receiving percutaneous 60-day PNS as compared to usual care with standard interventional management. Participants treated with 60-day PNS showed greater reductions in pain and more substantial improvements in functional outcomes through 6 months.

Exploring knowledge, confidence and barriers to evidence-based practice implementation of self-management strategy for low back pain during chiropractic training in France: a mixed method study – Summary by Liv Harley Street Hospital

CONCLUSION: The data suggests that while practitioners demonstrate a solid level of knowledge regarding the use of EBP in patients with low back pain, their actual implementation of these strategies remains moderate. Qualitative analysis further highlights the presence of specific beliefs and attitudes that mirror those reported in other healthcare professions. Among the main barriers, significant challenges related to knowledge, skills, and resources—particularly the lack of time—appear to…

Self-management activation for low back pain and its influencing factors among intensive care unit nurses: a multicenter cross-sectional study – Summary by Liv Harley Street Hospital

CONCLUSION: The overall self-management activation for LBP among ICU nurses needs to be improved urgently. Although these nurses demonstrate a strong motivation for self-management, they possess insufficient knowledge regarding LBP. Therefore, future interventions should be tailored to key factors such as ICU nurses’ age, years of work experience, education level, exercise frequency, participation in LBP prevention training, presenteeism, and perceived social support. Developing such precise and…
