🌟Just published in @JOSPT. Talented @msk_health visiting fellow @longtinchris uses discrete choice experiment in n=697 Australians to investigate decisions about non-drug care Strong desire to do *something* for #backpain. How do we avoid exploitation? jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.…

🚨 New in @JOSPT: jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.… People strongly value physical therapies for LBP over doing nothing, even when effects are very small! 📑Clinicians should engage in SDM that goes beyond treatment type. ❓Fertile environment for overtreatment and low-value care?

Almost 1 in 3 trials included in the NICE low back pain clinical practice guidelines to support treatments use suboptimal comparators Suboptimal comparators were more common in non-pharmacological trials Great stuff @gero5 👏 @giovanni_ef @msk_health doi.org/10.1016/j.bjpt.2023.…
