‘Reassurance and health care seeking in people with persistent musculoskeletal low back pain consulting orthopaedic spine practitioners: A prospective cohort study’.
Abstract
Guidelines recommend self-management for most people living with persistent musculoskeletal low back pain (PMLBP) when surgery is ruled out. Conveying this message to patients can be challenging. This study examined patients' perceptions of reassuring communications from surgical spine team practitioners attempting to deliver this message in a single consultation.
