People with back pain want choices and facts

Back pain is a common issue that many people face, and a new study has shed light on how patients prefer to receive information about managing their pain. The research, published in JAMA Network Open, found that patients with low back pain want to be empowered with knowledge to make informed choices, rather than being given advice.

Led by a team of international researchers, including Professor James McAuley from the Center for Pain IMPACT at Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA) and UNSW Sydney Faculty of Medicine and Health, the study compared two types of patient resources commonly used in GP clinics. One resource listed evidence-based treatment options, while the other provided advice on what patients should do.

The results were clear: patients who received the information-rich sheet with treatment options felt better prepared to participate in shared decision-making with their doctor. This approach, which focuses on providing patients with balanced information rather than telling them what to do, was found to be more effective in helping patients make informed decisions about their care.

The study also highlighted the importance of involving patients in the research process. Consumer advocate Steve Marsh, who collaborated on the study, emphasized the need for clear and trustworthy information that facilitates genuine conversations with healthcare providers.

For people with chronic low back pain, the benefits of shared decision-making were particularly pronounced. The study showed that brief, balanced materials may work better than traditional advice-heavy handouts, especially for individuals facing complex, long-term treatment decisions.

Dr. Christian Longtin, the lead author of the study, stressed the importance of designing patient resources that strike the right tone and provide valuable information in a concise format. The research, which involved over 1,000 adults in Australia, demonstrated the potential of one-page fact sheets as a powerful tool for promoting patient-centered care.

Overall, the study adds to the growing evidence supporting patient-centered care and could influence how healthcare services design educational materials for various conditions. By focusing on empowering patients with information and fostering shared decision-making, healthcare providers can better support individuals in managing their back pain effectively. The findings underscore the importance of tailoring educational materials to meet the needs and preferences of patients, ultimately improving the quality of care provided.
