Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Assessing associations between Sensory profiles and nociplastic pain symptoms, and assessing the prognostic value of sensory profiles in the development of nociplastic pain symptoms in a low back pain population.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase

    Detailed Description

    Therefore, the investigators aims are:
    • The primary aim of the study is to assess associations between Sensory Profiles (Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profiles) and Nociplastic pain Symptoms, in the acute and chronic low back pain population.

    • The secondary aim is to assess the prognostic value of sensory profiles in the transition to central sensitisation and pain, in the acute and chronic low back pain population at twelve weeks.
