Assessing associations between Sensory profiles and nociplastic pain symptoms, and assessing the prognostic value of sensory profiles in the development of nociplastic pain symptoms in a low back pain population.

Therefore, the investigators aims are:

• The primary aim of the study is to assess associations between Sensory Profiles (Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profiles) and Nociplastic pain Symptoms, in the acute and chronic low back pain population.
• The secondary aim is to assess the prognostic value of sensory profiles in the transition to central sensitisation and pain, in the acute and chronic low back pain population at twelve weeks.

Inclusion Criteria:

• patients with non-specific LBP
• with or without radiating pain
• aged 18-65 years
• able to read and understand the Dutch language

Exclusion Criteria:

• previous lumbar spinal surgery
• radiculopathy or any specific cause of low back pain such as lumbar spinal stenosis, current malignancy, spondyloarthropathy, osteoporosis, spondylolisthesis, major trauma, infection, or systemic disease.

Evaluation of eligibility will take place during assessment when the participant reports in primary care physiotherapy practice for the treatment of LBP.

Patients will be included consecutively and measurements will be obtained by the investigator.

Sharing is unlikely as the data set includes pseudo-anominizised highly confidential data, of which the participants do not gave their consent to use their provided data.
