Sleep problems and psychological symptoms as predictors of musculoskeletal conditions in children and adolescents. (2019)
Journal Article
Andreucci, A., Campbell, P., Dunn, K., Richardson, E., & Chen, Y. (2020). Sleep problems and psychological symptoms as predictors of musculoskeletal conditions in children and adolescents. European Journal of Pain, 24(2), 354-363. https://doi.org/10.1002/ejp.1491

BACKGROUND: Population-based studies show that sleep problems and psychological symptoms may increase the risk of musculoskeletal pain onset in children / adolescents. However, there is no evidence of these associations within primary care settings,...

Subgrouping patients with sciatica in primary care for matched care pathways: development of a subgrouping algorithm (2019)
Journal Article
