P83 - Are Positive or Negative Pain Beliefs Stronger Predictors of Treatment Outcome in Patients with Low Back Pain? Findings from the OIOC Registry

Abstract

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Robust evidence links maladaptive (negative) responses to low back pain (LBP) with the development of persistent LBP and disability. Emerging evidence demonstrates the importance of adaptive (positive) responses in determining good outcomes in patients with LBP. However, the relative importance of negative and positive beliefs is unclear.
