What does it take to facilitate the integration of clinical practice guidelines for the management of low back pain into practice? Part 2: A strategic plan to activate dissemination.

TL;DR: In this paper, a conceptual framework, such as the theoretical domains framework, was proposed to facilitate the implementation of these recommendations into clinical practice, which could serve to guide the development of a theory-informed knowledge translation intervention as a means to overcome implementation challenges in rehabilitation of LBP.

Where to start? A two stage residual inclusion approach to estimating influence of the initial provider on health care utilization and costs for low back pain in the US

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors examined how the first provider seen by an individual at initial diagnosis of low back pain influences downstream utilization and costs, and found that the frequency of early opioid prescription was significantly lower when care began with an acupuncturist or chiropractor, and highest for those who began with emergency medicine physician or advanced practice registered nurse (APRN).

Using Postmarket Surveillance to Assess Safety-Related Events in a Digital Rehabilitation App (Kaia App): Observational Study

TL;DR: The overall rate of reported AEs was very low, but significant reporting bias is likely to be present, and the AEs reported were generally consistent with those described for in-person therapies for LBP.
