Individual recovery expectations and prognosis of outcomes in non-specific low back pain: prognostic factor review.

CONCLUSIONS: We found that individual recovery expectations are probably strongly associated with future work participation (moderate-quality evidence) and may be associated with clinically important recovery outcomes (low-quality evidence). The association of recovery expectations with other outcomes of interest is less certain. Our findings suggest that recovery expectations should be considered in future studies, to improve prognosis and management of low back pain. PMID: 31765487 [PubMed - in process]
