Indices of central sensitisation can predict effective self-management in individuals with chronic low back pain (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Georgopoulos, V. (2020, September). Indices of central sensitisation can predict effective self-management in individuals with chronic low back pain. Poster presented at IASP Virtual Series on Pain & Expo, online

Background and aims: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is one of the most prevalent reasons people seek healthcare assistance worldwide. Guidelines for managing CLBP prioritise the development of self-management strategies, for example through cognitive b...
