Assessment and prediction of spine surgery invasiveness with machine learning techniques.

Computers in biology and medicine
BACKGROUND: The interest in Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) techniques has greatly increased in the recent years due to their significant advantages, both in terms of outcome improvement and cost reduction. Also in spine surgery, MIS is now applicab...

Initial classification of low back and leg pain based on objective functional testing: a pilot study of machine learning applied to diagnostics.

European spine journal : official publication of the European Spine Society, the European Spinal Deformity Society, and the European Section of the Cervical Spine Research Society
OBJECTIVE: The five-repetition sit-to-stand (5R-STS) test was designed to capture objective functional impairment and thus provided an adjunctive dimension in patient assessment. The clinical interpretability and confounders of the 5R-STS remain poor...

Multivariate resting-state functional connectivity predicts responses to real and sham acupuncture treatment in chronic low back pain.

NeuroImage. Clinical
Despite the high prevalence and socioeconomic impact of chronic low back pain (cLBP), treatments for cLBP are often unsatisfactory, and effectiveness varies widely across patients. Recent neuroimaging studies have demonstrated abnormal resting-state ...

Visual network alterations in brain functional connectivity in chronic low back pain: A resting state functional connectivity and machine learning study.

NeuroImage. Clinical
Chronic low back pain (cLBP) is associated with widespread functional and structural changes in the brain. This study aims to investigate the resting state functional connectivity (rsFC) changes of visual networks in cLBP patients and the feasibility...

Using a deep learning network to recognise low back pain in static standing.

Ergonomics
Low back pain (LBP) remains one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorders, while algorithms that able to recognise LBP patients from healthy population using balance performance data are rarely seen. In this study, human balance and body sway p...

Comparison of Natural Language Processing Rules-based and Machine-learning Systems to Identify Lumbar Spine Imaging Findings Related to Low Back Pain.

Academic radiology
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To evaluate a natural language processing (NLP) system built with open-source tools for identification of lumbar spine imaging findings related to low back pain on magnetic resonance and x-ray radiology reports from four hea...

Efficacy and safety of a fixed combination of intramuscular diclofenac 75 mg + thiocolchicoside 4 mg in the treatment of acute low back pain: a phase III, randomized, double blind, controlled trial.

European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine
BACKGROUND: The management of acute low back pain (LBP) is directed to obtain early and maximum relief of the local and regional pain, and to improve mobility and physical function.

Evaluation of three machine learning models for self-referral decision support on low back pain in primary care.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND: Most people experience low back pain (LBP) at least once in their life and for some patients this evolves into a chronic condition. One way to prevent acute LBP from transiting into chronic LBP, is to ensure that patients receive the righ...

A novel approach to spinal 3-D kinematic assessment using inertial sensors: Towards effective quantitative evaluation of low back pain in clinical settings.

Computers in biology and medicine
This paper presents a novel approach for evaluating LBP in various settings. The proposed system uses cost-effective inertial sensors, in conjunction with pattern recognition techniques, for identifying sensitive classifiers towards discriminate iden...
