This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of cupping therapy on low back pain (LBP). Medline, Embase, Scopus and WANFANG databases were searched for relevant cupping RCTs on low back pain articles up to 2023. A complementary search was manuall...

Chronic back pain prevalence at small area level in England - the design and validation of a 2-stage static spatial microsimulation model (2023)
Journal Article
Smalley, H., & Edwards, K. (2024). Chronic back pain prevalence at small area level in England - the design and validation of a 2-stage static spatial microsimulation model. Spatial and Spatio-temporal Epidemiology, 48, Article 100633. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sste.2023.100633

Spatially disaggregated estimates provide valuable insights into the nature of a disease. They highlight inequalities, aid public health planning and identify avenues for further research. Spatial microsimulation is advantageous in that it can be use...

Understanding the burden of chronic back pain: a spatial microsimulation of chronic back pain at small area level across England (2023)
Journal Article
Smalley, H., & Edwards, K. (2023). Understanding the burden of chronic back pain: a spatial microsimulation of chronic back pain at small area level across England. European Spine Journal, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00586-023-07584-w

Purpose: Chronic back pain (CBP)carries a significant burden. Understanding how and why CBP prevalence varies spatially, as well as the potential impact of policies to decrease CBP would prove valuable for public health planning. This study aims to s...
