Brief summary (registry, in English)

Persistent back pain is the leading cause of years lived with disability worldwide. Current therapeutic interventions are often either not effective or are associated with undesired consequences. These concerns are further amplified by the current opioid epidemic, resulting in an enormous public health crisis. Experts from diverse disciplines including molecular/cellular biology, neuroscience, psychology and public health formed the Quebec Back Pain Consortium to address this challenge. The overall goal of this project is to facilitate research on factors that contribute to the persistence and recovery from back pain. To accomplish this goal, we will recruit individuals suffering from acute and chronic low back pain across the province of Quebec and follow their pain trajectories over two years using an online platform. During that period, satellite projects will investigate specific risk factors including genetics, diet and physical activity, and advanced statistical methods will be used to integrate and interpret the data. A better understanding of factors influencing back pain will eventually allow for improved early intervention, interruption and prevention.

Who the study is looking for

  • At least 18 years old;
  • Internet access;
  • Fluent in English or French;
  • Self-reported LBP. Presence of LBP will be based on the recommendations of the Standardized Delphi Definitions of Low Back Pain Prevalence. According to these recommendations, LBP is present if both the following questions are answered "yes": (1) In the past 4 weeks, have you had pain in your low back? (2) If yes, was this pain bad enough to limit your usual activities or change your daily routine for more than one day?

Age in the registry: 18 years to - · Sex: All · Does not accept healthy volunteers
