• Global, regional, and national burden of disorders affecting the nervous system, 1990–2021: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 (2024, background): “42,43 Some neurological pain quantified in GBD is captured within musculoskeletal conditions— eg, low back pain (including sciatica) or neck pain—and such pain was not included in our current analysis.”
• Shape shifting pain: chronification of back pain shifts brain representation from nociceptive to emotional circuits. (2013, background): “For back pain, 0–7 days of pain is considered acute, 7 days to 3 months is classified as subacute, and 43 months is categorized as chronic pain (Frank, 1993).”
• Global low back pain prevalence and years lived with disability from 1990 to 2017: estimates from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 (2020, background): “Given that many of the risk factors for LBP are shared by other non-communicable diseases, it is imperative that integrated, collaborative approaches are established and built upon to ensure affordable solutions to the growing burden of LBP (37), especially, in low- and middle-income countries (38).”
• Randomized controlled trial of a 12-week digital care program in improving low back pain (2019, background): “Clinical diagnosis of LBP is difficult due to its multifactorial etiology and in turn, 90% of cases are designated as non-specific with no clear underlying cause.(4,5) Given the uncertainties in diagnoses, localized LBP is treated with a broad variety of interventions including activity modification”
