Questionnaire measures included spinal pain, pain coping, quality of life, physical activity, clinical assessment findings and care delivered. Chiropractors provided usual clinical care. We conducted a descriptive feasibility analysis.<h4>Primary outcomes</h4>(1) Recruitment rate, (2) response rate to each data collection instrument and (3) retention rate.<h4>Results</h4>From May 2021 to February 2023, 20 chiropractors from 10 clinics were enrolled (invited n=85). 10 chiropractors recruited 45 adolescents (15.4±1.4 years, 43% female) over 13.5 months, excluding an 8-month pause due to COVID-19 disruptions. The average recruitment rate was 0.6 adolescents/recruiting chiropractor/month. We achieved a 100% response to chiropractor baseline and follow-up questionnaires, 98% to adolescent baseline, 94% average response to combined weekly text messages and 93% retention of adolescents at study completion.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Our high response and retention rates demonstrate feasible data collection methods in this population. Addressing low recruitment by expanding the number and type of clinicians is necessary for a successful larger study."],"journal":["BMJ open"],"pagination":["e088834"],"full_dataset_link":["https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC11795366"],"repository":["biostudies-literature"],"pubmed_title":["Clinical course of spinal pain in adolescents: a feasibility study in a chiropractic setting."],"pmcid":["PMC11795366"],"pubmed_authors":["Young A","Maher CG","Montgomery LR","Swain MS","Hestbæk L","Beynon A","Kamper SJ","Hancock MJ","Pohlman KA","French SD"],"additional_accession":[]},"is_claimable":false,"name":"Clinical course of spinal pain in adolescents: a feasibility study in a chiropractic setting.","description":"<h4>Design</h4>Prospective feasibility study.<h4>Objectives</h4>To inform the design and conduct of a large-scale clinical cohort study investigating adolescents with moderate-to-severe spinal pain.<h4>Setting</h4>Chiropractic care in Sydney, Australia.<h4>Participants</h4>Adolescents aged 12-17 years with spinal pain (≥4/10 pain intensity score).<h4>Methods</h4>Adolescents and chiropractors completed baseline and week-12 follow-up questionnaires, with adolescents reporting pain intensity and recovery weekly via text messages during weeks 1-11.
