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.

TL;DR: Evaluating differences in muscle structure and muscle activity of the multifidus and erector spinae during trunk extension in patients with RLBP and non-continuous CLBP indicates a higher amount of fat infiltration in the lumbar muscles, in the absence of clear atrophy, in continuous CLBP compared with RL BP.

TL;DR: Preliminary to moderate evidence demonstrates relations between clinical pain measures, and structural and functional connectivity alterations within brain regions involved in somatosensory, affective, and cognitive processing of pain in chronic MSKP.

TL;DR: Significant cognitive deficits, signs of CS, and reduced health-related QoL in chronic WAD and FM patients compared to healthy individuals are demonstrated and provide preliminary evidence for the clinical importance of objectively measured cognitive deficits in patients with chronic Wad and FM.

TL;DR: Surge capacity organisation as reflected by ICU overflow or the creation of COVID-19 specific supplementary ICU beds were found to negatively impact ICU patient outcomes.
