ClinConnect Summary

After performing an univariable linear regression analyses the regression model predicts the dependent variable, central sensitization, significantly, and the models are significant prediction factors of the development of central sensitization. In unadjusted analyses, all four sensory profiles were significantly associated with the development of central sensitization (P\<0.001).

After adjusting for pain, disability, age, and duration of low back pain, baseline sensory profiles remained significant predictors of central sensitization. On the other hand, all other predictor variables did n...
