A big thank you to ESSA Sports Science for the opportunity to present a first glimpse at the intervertebral disc outcomes from our ASTEROID study at #R2P24 . We know LBP improved but what about the intervertebral discs? More to come soon! Hint: read the title 👀👀

Ben Cormack PainResearchEducation Tobias Saueressig Physio Meets Science A/Prof Patrick J Owen Thanks Ben Cormack , I hope (!) readers will see its about „using contextual factors to give better results“ (which doesn’t appear to work).

Contextual factors are part of the treatment effect, yes. doi.org/10.1002/ejp.22…

And yes, we should always aim for a good relationship!

Martin Plöderl The BMJ I think this could largely be avoided if PRISMA included data handling as a section to report (would flag for authors to consider). My example of how I did this was here, but could be improved: jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jo…. A/Prof Patrick J Owen Matthew Page JOSPT Community

Run walk interval training 3 days per week for 20-30 minutes led to a 45% reduction in pain intensity at 12 weeks.

Upright bipedal physical loading (running) was associated with better lumbar spinal disc health!

Sharing findings from our meta-analysis at the #AusPainSoc conference in Darwin. Manuscript coming soon...👀

Thank you to all the collaborators who have made this work possible!

This book by Liam Mannix is another great book that provides an overview of the current state of science in back pain! Very legibly written and a good read, especially for those who suffer from back pain! But I have to admit that.. 1/2

🧙‍♂️Meta-wizardry at its finest. Well done on this extremely informative thread, Tobias!

The Sp⚽️rts Physio Unfortunatly they (wrongly) calculate a treatment effect and not a contextual effect. The PCE is flawed. See here bmcmedresmethodol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Lots of people getting in touch about Four Corners coverage of spinal cord stimulators and back pain. Good to see this industry again under the microscope!

Key missing point: we do have good treatments for back pain. Not enough people have heard of them. buff.ly/3vKaNr9

🤔I thought one would need to declare a COI when writing a letter to the editor on a paper if they had a paper on the same topic under review elsewhere. Given the number of times I've seen this occur, I guess my interpretation of recommendations is wrong?

Petteri Koski RJ RJ listening to your body after a run seems like sound advice. We recently did a 12 week RCT comparing running to control (under review) and participants often reported that their LBP actually eased during a run. Average pain and disability also reduced at 12 weeks
