AbstractBackgroundPatients with musculoskeletal pain in different body sites share common prognostic factors. Using prognosis to stratify and treatment match can be clinically and cost‐effective. We aimed to refine and validate the Keele STarT MSK To... Read More about Refinement and validation of a tool for stratifying patients with musculoskeletal pain.

A significant proportion of children/adolescents report Chronic Widespread Pain (CWP), but little is known about clinically relevant CWP or what factors lead to onset in this population. Objectives were to report the primary care consultation prevale...

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...
