Accounting for the recurrent nature of low-back pain

The goals of this project are:

  • to establish which recovery measures for low-back pain consider its recurring nature (outcomes such as “time to first return to work” do not account for recurrence)
  • to recommend a set of measures that characterize the recurring course of musculoskeletal conditions such as low-back pain.
