The most common approach involves the STarT Back Screening Tool (SBST) to triage the need for psychologically informed care, which explores concerns about pain and addresses unhelpful beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. Such beliefs that pain always signifies injury or tissue damage and that exercise should be avoided have been implied as psychosocial mediators of chronic pain and can impede recovery. The ability of physical therapy interventions guided by baseline stratification for risk of persistent LBP or related functional limitations to improve unhelpful pain beliefs has not been well assessed. Because treatments are aimed at addressing these beliefs, understanding a bit more about the nature of beliefs about pain (for example, attitudes and knowledge) might help us understand how to better tailor this care or even our risk-stratification approaches for future treatment of patients with LBP.</p><p><strong>Questions/purposes: </strong>(1) Did patients assigned to receive risk-stratified care score higher on an assessment of pain science knowledge? (2) Did patients assigned to receive risk-stratified care have fewer unhelpful attitudes related to pain?

(4) Regardless of intervention received, is baseline SBST risk category (low, medium, or high) associated with changes in attitudes and knowledge about pain?</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This is a secondary analysis of short-term changes in pain beliefs following the 6-week treatment phase of a randomized controlled trial that examined the effectiveness of a risk-stratified physical therapy intervention on pain-related disability at 1 year.

The intervention involved psychologically informed physical therapy using cognitive behavioral principles and included tailored education, graded exercise, and graded exposure. Individuals assigned to usual care followed treatment plans set forth by their primary care provider. Thirty-one patients were removed from Optimal Screening for Prediction of Referral and Outcome Yellow Flag (OSPRO-YF) tool analyses due to missing assessments at 6 weeks (n = 15 intervention; n = 16 usual care).
