Establishing Central Sensitization Inventory Cut-off Values in patients with Chronic Low Back Pain by Unsupervised Machine Learning [PDF]
Human Assumed Central Sensitization is involved in the development and maintenance of chronic low back pain (CLBP). The Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI) was developed to evaluate the presence of HACS, with a cut-off value of 40/100 based on patients with chronic pain.

Development of a miniaturized motion sensor for tracking warning signs of low-back pain [PDF]
Low-back pain (LBP) is a widespread disease which can also be highly disabling, but physicians lack of basic understanding and diagnosis tools. During this study, we have designed and built a new wearable device capable of detecting features helpful in LBP follow-up while being non-invasive.

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction (SIJD) is an underappreciated source of back pain. Mineralization patterns of the sacroiliac (SIJ) subchondral bone plate (SCB) may reflect long-term adaptations to the loading of the joint.

Parametric study of lumbar belts in the case of low back pain: effect of patients' specific characteristics [PDF]
Objective: A numerical 3D model of the human trunk was developed to study the biomechanical effects of lumbar belts used to treat low back pain. Methods: This model was taken from trunk radiographies of a person and simplified so as to make a parametric study by varying morphological parameters of the patient, characteristic parameters of the lumbar ...

Predicting the evolution of neck pain episodes in routine clinical practice
Background The objective of this study was to develop models for predicting the evolution of a neck pain (NP) episode. Methods Three thousand two hundred twenty-five acute and chronic patients seeking care for NP, were recruited consecutively in 47 ...

Spontaneous back-pain alters randomness in functional connections in large scale brain networks: A random matrix perspective [PDF]
We use randomness as a measure to assess the impact of evoked pain on brain networks. Randomness is defined here as the intrinsic correlations that exist between different brain regions when the brain is in a task-free state. We use fMRI data of three brain states in a set of back pain patients monitored over a period of 6 months.

Variable Selection for Latent Class Analysis with Application to Low Back Pain Diagnosis [PDF]
The identification of most relevant clinical criteria related to low back pain disorders may aid the evaluation of the nature of pain suffered in a way that usefully informs patient assessment and treatment. Data concerning low back pain can be of categorical nature, in the form of a check-list in which each item denotes presence or absence of a ...
