From data collection to intervention development: A qualitative study of older people's experiences of living with neurogenic claudication
Background: Trials of treatments for low back pain (LBP) generally exclude adults over 65 years of age. However, LBP has a significant impact on older people and there is a strong association bwetween LBP and immobility, disability, frailty and falls. Thus, there is a need to improve the management of LBP in older people through the generation and evaluation of new treatments. We have recently undertaken a programme of work with a focus on neurogenic claudication. This is a common spinal condition associated with older age.
