Brief summary

This study conducts prognostic research to develop, validate, and evaluate the predictive role of sensory profiles in the development of sensory profiles over time. Therefore, a type 3 prognostic model research will be conducted in the low back pain population.

Detailed description

This is a longitudinal multi-centre prospective cohort study design with two measurements.The STROBE statement is used as guideline and the results are reported according to the TRIPOD, and REMARK checklists. The study is a type III prognostic model research study, following the PROGRESS framework to assess the outcome by the development, validation, and evaluation of the impact of incorporating single or multiple prognostic factors, and their prognostic value at baseline in the development of CS over a period of 12 weeks.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Central Sensitization Inventory12 weeksCentral Sensitization Inventory (CSI) is a questionnaire which consists of 2 parts. Part A measures 25 symptoms on a 5-point scale, scoring ranges from 0-4, with a total on an ordinal scale ranging from 0-100. Part B records the presence diagnosed central sensitization syndromes, on a nominal scale. Four factors with excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha= 0.91) can be identified: disability and physical symptoms; higher central sensitivity; urological and dermatological symptoms and emotional distress. The CSI has an excellent test-retest reliability of ICC=0.88 in chronic low back pain populations.
