Journal Article
Geraghty, A. W. A., Roberts, L., Hill, J., Foster, N. E., Yardley, L., Hay, E., …Little, P. (2020). Supporting self-management of low back pain with an internet intervention in primary care: a protocol for a randomised controlled trial of clinical and cost-effectiveness (SupportBack 2). BMJ Open, 10(8), https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2020-040543

INTRODUCTION: Self-management and remaining physically active are first-line recommendations for the care of patients with low back pain (LBP). With a lifetime prevalence of up to 85%, novel approaches to support behavioural self-management are neede...

Computer-Based Stratified Primary Care for Musculoskeletal Consultations Compared With Usual Care: Study Protocol for the STarT MSK Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial. (2020)
Journal Article
Hill, J., Garvin, S., Chen, Y., Cooper, V., Wathall, S., Bartlam, B., …Foster, N. E. (2020). Computer-Based Stratified Primary Care for Musculoskeletal Consultations Compared With Usual Care: Study Protocol for the STarT MSK Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial. JMIR Research Protocols, 9(7), https://doi.org/10.2196/17939

BACKGROUND: Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain is a major cause of pain and disability. We previously developed a prognostic tool (STarT Back Tool) with demonstrated effectiveness in guiding primary care low back pain management by supporting decision-making...

Stratified care versus usual care for management of patients presenting with sciatica in primary care (SCOPiC): a randomised controlled trial (2020)
Journal Article
Konstantinou, K., Lewis, M., Dunn, K., Hay, E., Van Der Windt, D., Artus, M., …Foster, N. (2020). Stratified care versus usual care for management of patients presenting with sciatica in primary care (SCOPiC): a randomised controlled trial. The Lancet Rheumatology, 2(7), e401-e411. https://doi.org/10.1016/S2665-9913%2820%2930099-0

Background
Sciatica has a substantial impact on individuals and society. Stratified care has been shown to lead to better outcomes among patients with non-specific low back pain, but it has not been tested for sciatica. We aimed to investigate the c...

Stratified versus usual care for the management of primary care patients with sciatica: the SCOPiC RCT (2020)
Journal Article
Foster, N. E., Konstantinou, K., Lewis, M., Ogollah, R., Saunders, B., Kigozi, J., …Dunn, K. M. (2020). Stratified versus usual care for the management of primary care patients with sciatica: the SCOPiC RCT. Health Technology Assessment, 2(7), e401-e411. https://doi.org/10.3310/hta24490

BACKGROUND: Sciatica has a substantial impact on patients and society. Current care is 'stepped', comprising an initial period of simple measures of advice and analgesia, for most patients, commonly followed by physiotherapy, and then by more intensi...

Rheumatology, 59(Supplement_2), https://doi.org/10.1093/rheumatology/keaa111.138

Background
Patients with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) are commonly treated with night splints and/or local corticosteroid injection. In the INSTINCTS (INjection versus SplinTing in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) trial, we previously report...

Journal Article
Hill, J., Garvin, S., Chen, Y., Cooper, V., Wathall, S., Saunders, B., …Foster, N. E. (2020). Stratified primary care versus non-stratified care for musculoskeletal pain: findings from the STarT MSK feasibility and pilot cluster randomized controlled trial. BMC Family Practice, 21, Article 30. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12875-019-1074-9

Background: Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain from the five most common presentations to primary care (back, neck, shoulder, knee or multi-site pain), where the majority of patients are managed, is a costly global health challenge. At present, first-line de...
