2011;63(3):278-286.
After discovering knowledge gaps in the primary care of patients with LBP, the authors
reviewed published clinical care guidelines to construct a point-of-care algorithm that is
intended to be “clinician friendly.”

The authors offer a narrative review based on multiple systematic reviews on NSAIDs.
They conclude that NSAIDs have a role in acute LBP management but response is not

disorders, or non-specific low back pain? A systematic review of systematic reviews by
the Ontario Protocol for Traffic Injury Management (OPTIMa) Collaboration. Eur
Spine J 2016;25(1):34-61.
This review was commissioned by the Province of Ontario to examine the evidence for
neck and LBP treatment after motor vehicle collisions. Some of the conclusions
regarding the use of medications differ some from other guidelines as they suggest
skeletal muscle relaxants as possible first-line treatment rather than secondary
treatment. The study did not find good evidence for the use of NSAIDs for acute spine
pain.
oxycodone/acetaminophen, or placebo for treating acute low back pain: A randomized
clinical trial. JAMA 2015;314(15):1572-1580.
This prospective study has garnered a good deal of editorial responses that have
emphasized the fact that the addition of skeletal muscle relaxants, low-dose opioid
(oxycodone 5 or 10 mg every 8 hours), or placebo did not improve pain control
compared with placebo at 1 week or 3 months after the onset of acute LBP.
Unfortunately, there was no true placebo group and the dose of oxycodone was low and
too infrequent. At 3 months, 25% of all groups still reported moderate to severe LBP.

This review evaluated skeletal muscle relaxants in patients with LBP. There was highquality evidence that muscle relaxants provide clinically significant pain relief in the
short term for acute LBP. There was no information on long-term outcomes. For
chronic LBP, the effects of skeletal muscle relaxants are not known. There was no
evidence to support the efficacy of benzodiazepines in LBP.

low back pain and radiculopathy (SEBRA)? A double-blind randomised controlled trial.
Emerg Med J 2015;32(7):525-530.
Intravenous dexamethasone (8 mg) was compared with placebo in patients with LBP
and radicular symptoms in the emergency department. A significant reduction in pain
and emergency department length of stay was found. Although the effect on pain was
statistically significant, the improvement did not appear clinically meaningful. Any
benefit was gone at the 6-week follow-up. Dexamethasone may reduce the length of
stay in the emergency department and pain somewhat, but results appear short-lived.

The authors report on 67 patients available for follow-up after having been seen in a

prednisone 50 mg daily versus placebo. There were no significant differences between
groups in level of pain, time to return to normal activity, or return to work.

The authors review the use of opioids for acute and chronic LBP. There are no adequate
studies for opioid use in acute LBP and benefits are inferred from their value in other
acute painful musculoskeletal conditions. Because there are no controlled long-term
studies, neither the effectiveness nor safety of long-term opioid analgesic therapy is
known. The authors review some strategies for reducing risks to patients and the public
health.

systematic review and meta-analysis. JAMA Intern Med 2016;176(7):958-968.
In this systematic review of only randomized controlled trials, the authors found
moderate-quality evidence that opioid analgesics reduce pain in the short term, but the
effect was only modest for doses recommended by guidelines. Approximately 50% of
patients withdrew because of adverse side effects. Evidence on long-term efficacy is
lacking.

The authors examined death certificates of Oregon residents who filled opioid

prescriptions and did not die. The correlation, if any, between early prescription use of
opioids and long-term use also was examined. Of the 536,767 patients who filled an
opioid prescription, 5% became long-term users. Those with the highest number of
refills and those given higher doses or long-acting opioids were more likely to become
chronic opioid users.

This Cochrane review looked at randomized controlled trials that investigated NSAID
use for chronic LBP. Fifty percent of the studies showed NSAIDs to be more effective
than placebo, but the effect size was quite small and the level of evidence was low. No

Duloxetine-treated patients reported a significantly greater reduction in pain and had
improved Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire reports. Fifteen percent of the
duloxetine-treated patients discontinued use versus 7% in the placebo-treated patients.

Abstract
Spine-related impairment is the primary cause of disability worldwide and
has a negative effect on global wellness, productivity, and economics. It is
important for care providers to ascertain the effects of spine pain on the
patient’s life and ability to function. Pathoanatomic diagnosis and imaging
findings are not consistently relevant to the dominant pain mechanism and
source of symptoms, and the degree of injury is not always equal to the
intensity of pain. Healthcare providers should be fluent in the use of
classification systems that are valid and reliable for subgrouping patients
with spine pain based on their clinical presentation and provoking and
relieving activities and motions. A better defined common language among
spine care providers will advance the field and allow precise diagnoses and
specific individualized treatments.

Introduction
Disability caused by spine-related pain is currently a major health problem,
with approximately $600 billion spent annually in the United States for spine

care.1 A growing body of scientific literature has concluded that
pathoanatomic diagnosis and MRI findings are not consistently relevant to
the dominant pain mechanism and source of symptoms,
2,3
and the degree of
injury may not equal the intensity of pain.4 The literature also supports the
concept of using alternative classification systems
5,6
rather than relying
solely on the pathoanatomic diagnosis. The use of classification systems to
assist in making a diagnosis in patients with low back pain (LBP) is
associated with better outcomes.7 Treatment interventions performed without
reference to a patient’s specific presentation and without an attempt at
classification into a subgroup can lead to suboptimal care, poorer outcomes,
and decreased patient satisfaction.8 A prolonged cycle of nonspecific
treatment undertaken with the hope that one therapy will be effective can lead
to frustration for both the patient and the healthcare provider.
8
The choice of the specific classification or diagnostic system used should
be made carefully by weighing the evidence and pros and cons regarding the
clinician’s practice and broader healthcare implications. An additional tool or
system should be used to assess the psychosocial components of a patient’s
spine pain and potential barriers to recovery. The reliability of two systems,
the classification of mechanical nociceptive spinal pain mechanisms using the
McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT; McKenzie
Institute International)9 and a treatment-based classification system (TBC),
are supported by evidence in the literature.
10,11
The Pain Mechanism
Classification System (PMCS) was developed in the late 1990s to address
both nociceptive movement-dominated pain mechanisms and centrally
mediated pain mechanisms related to the emotional, social, and sensorimotor
dimensions of pain. More recently, the PMCS has been found to be a reliable
classification system with good interrater and intrarater reliability and high
specificity.
7,12-14
The PMCS also has a high likelihood ratio for identifying the
dominant pain mechanism, with 95% of clinical characteristics covered and
applicability across many pain locations, patient ages, and levels of
neurologic and musculoskeletal disability.
7,15
Classification systems are
important for directing specific interventions. The PMCS has been shown to
effectively and efficiently guide and direct patient education and active care,
especially on the patient’s first clinical visit.
7,13,15
Regardless of whether spine
pain is acute or chronic, the PMCS, MDT, and TBC promote independence in

self-care without the need for passive treatments performed in a rehabilitation
setting.
Foundation Principles of Spine Classification Systems
Not all nociceptive spine-related symptoms are caused by structural,
pathologic, mechanical, or chemical mechanisms. In 35% of patients with
chronic pain, there is an underlying central nervous system (CNS)–mediated
mechanism.7 The PMCS, MDT, and TBC systems for spine-related
conditions direct specific therapeutic exercise for LBP dominated by
nociceptive pain mechanisms. The PMCS is unique in that it takes into
account mechanical nociceptive and centrally mediated sources of pain that
represent the cognitive, emotional, social, psychological, and sensorimotor
dimensions of a patient’s pain experience.
7,16
These three classification
systems have evidence to support their effects on positive outcomes,
decreased cost to the healthcare system, and help in selecting active
therapeutic exercises.
Therapeutic exercise is a conservative intervention offered by many
providers with various training backgrounds. Therapeutic exercise should
include a strong patient education component for self-management of spinerelated problems. Conservative care is an overarching term that includes the
concepts of active treatment directed for immediate cure of a disease or
management of an injury, causal treatment to prevent a disease, nonsurgical
care to avoid radical medical therapeutic measures or surgical procedures,
and empiric treatment that has proved to be beneficial.
17
When a surgeon refers a patient to a provider of conservative care, the
surgeon should ensure that the provider prioritizes patient education and
active care before ordering procedures such as passive electrical modalities,
tests, manual medicine interventions, and injections. Patient education and
active exercise should be directed toward reducing or eliminating the
mechanism of spine-related pain preventing the recurrence of pain. The care
provider should use both patient- and clinician-rated validated outcome
measures. The surgeon should assess the effects of conservative care
interventions by reviewing results of the outcome measures and take
responsibility for ensuring that all aspects of evidence-based medicine have
been performed relative to the selected education and exercise intervention.

This approach also provides the surgeon with an understanding of the
services offered by therapeutic exercise providers and their contribution to
disease management.
Patient Education
Appropriate Language
Education is an important aspect of patient recovery and self-maintenance.
The healthcare provider must be cautious in the selection of words or
statements used to educate a patient because some types of communication
can be hurtful or harmful. In contrast, other words and statements can be
helpful and may provide a patient with hope and a change in mind-set about a
condition, diagnosis, or symptom.
Examples of words and statements that can be misleading or may conflict
with appropriate conservative care include instructing a patient with pain to
stop moving because it may be harmful, listing activities that the patient
should never do, and indicating that the care provider is unsure of the best
treatment and the patient must get accustomed to his or her pain. In contrast,
other words and statements will promote a patient’s engagement in his or her
care. For example, a patient should be reassured that the pain is real, but that
not all pain is bad. Understanding the behavior of pain during movements
will determine the safety of the pain. A patient can be informed about the
mechanism causing the pain (eg, a tight, trapped, or sensitive nerve) and the
potential for recovery with the appropriate exercise therapy.
14,16
Reassurance
that the patient is “not crazy” and referral to a medical professional who can
help the patient cope with life stressors also is an example of positive
communication.
Methods and Outcomes
Studies have shown the benefits of providing education to patients with
LBP.
18-21
Advice to patients with LBP to exercise when back pain is at its
worst has resulted in increased satisfaction and improved functional
outcomes.18 For example, patients can be given booklets with detailed
exercise instructions after a medical consultation. Cognitive changes have
been documented in patients who are given reassurance that exercise is not

Figure 1
harmful.19 Words can heal and have an immediate effect by physically
altering the patient’s perception of the meaning of pain; this may decrease the
need for further interventions.22 Activity guidelines have shown that the
concept of movement-safe pain is critical to a successful outcome. Patients
who read an educational book on self-treatment of back pain demonstrated
long-term improvements and had fewer recurring pain episodes than those
who did not read the book.20 A reduction in fear-avoidance behaviors was
found in patients with chronic back pain who were provided with information
about the neurophysiology of pain mechanisms. This strategy decreased pain
and improved outcomes.

of Hurt: A Guide to Classifying Pain. St. Louis, MO, Thomas Land,
2015, pp 194-195.)
Advice given to a patient may translate into behavioral changes.23 The
clinician should be careful to use terms and phrases familiar to the patient and
should remember that patient-friendly language is important.
24,25
Using a
classification system such as the PMCS can efficiently and effectively guide
patient education and provide activity guidelines and exercise prescriptions.
The PMCS provides a common language and image that the patient and
provider can use to enhance communication regarding the dominating pain
mechanism.16 Also, group education can be as effective as individual patient
education. Consideration should be given to the development of short (<8
weeks) group interventions.
