Jess MA, et al. - Researchers gauged the correlation between the duration of pain at baseline and the clinical outcomes of patients with low back pain (LBP) enrolled on the North East of England Regional Back Pain and Radicular Pain Pathway (NERBPP). At baseline, patients with different durations of LBP improved on the NERBPP, thereby, supporting the recent modification to National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines. Nonetheless, superior outcomes in the short term may be seen in those with shorter durations of pain, thereby, suggesting added benefit in getting patients onto the pathway in the early stages of LBP.
