PY - 2020 DA - 2020/10/14 TI - Neck pain patterns and subgrouping based on weekly SMS-derived trajectories JO - BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders SP - 678 VL - 21 IS - 1 AB - Neck and low back pain represent dynamic conditions that change over time, often with an initial improvement after the onset of a new episode, followed by flare-ups or variations in intensity. Pain trajectories were previously defined based on longitudinal studies of temporal patterns and pain intensity of individuals with low back pain. In this study, we aimed to 1) investigate if the defined patterns and subgroups for low back pain were applicable to neck pain patients in chiropractic practice, 2) explore the robustness of the defined patterns, and 3) investigate if patients within the various patterns differ concerning characteristics and clinical findings.
