Low back pain: guidelines for the clinical classification of predominant neuropathic, nociceptive, or central sensitization pain.
Jo Nijs,Adri Apeldoorn,H. J. M. Hallegraeff,Jacqui Clark,Rob J. E. M. Smeets,Anneleen Malfliet,Enrique Lluch Girbés,Enrique Lluch Girbés,Margot De Kooning,Margot De Kooning,Kelly Ickmans +10 more
TL;DR: The pain classification system for L BP should be an addition to available classification systems and diagnostic procedures for LBP, as it is focussed on pain mechanisms solely.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural and functional brain abnormalities in chronic low back pain: A systematic review☆
Jeroen Kregel,Mira Meeus,Mira Meeus,Anneleen Malfliet,Mieke Dolphens,Lieven Danneels,Jo Nijs,Barbara Cagnie +7 more
TL;DR: A systematic review of structural and functional brain abnormalities in chronic low back pain (CLBP) using several brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques is presented in this paper, where the authors evaluated structural gray matter changes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exercise therapy for chronic musculoskeletal pain: Innovation by altering pain memories
TL;DR: How musculoskeletal therapists can alter pain memories in patients with chronic musculOSkeletal pain, by integrating pain neuroscience education with exercise interventions is explained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brain changes associated with cognitive and emotional factors in chronic pain: A systematic review
Anneleen Malfliet,Iris Coppieters,P. Van Wilgen,Jeroen Kregel,R. De Pauw,Mieke Dolphens,Kelly Ickmans +6 more
TL;DR: An overview of the existing literature on the association of brain alterations with pain catastrophizing, fear‐avoidance, anxiety and depressive symptoms is provided, providing that even at rest the brain reserves a certain activity for these pain‐related factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of pain neuroscience education combined with cognition-targeted motor control training on chronic spinal pain: a randomized clinical trial
Anneleen Malfliet,Jeroen Kregel,Iris Coppieters,Robby De Pauw,Mira Meeus,Mira Meeus,Nathalie Roussel,Barbara Cagnie,Lieven Danneels,Jo Nijs +9 more
TL;DR: Pain neuroscience education combined with cognition-targeted motor control training appears to be more effective than current best-evidence physiotherapy for improving pain, symptoms of central sensitization, disability, mental and physical functioning, and pain cognitions in individuals with chronic spinal pain.
