Artificial intelligence to improve back pain outcomes and lessons learnt from clinical classification approaches: three systematic reviews

Abstract Artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) could enhance the ability to detect patterns of clinical characteristics in low-back pain (LBP) and guide treatment. We conducted three systematic reviews to address the following aims: (a) review the status of AI/ML research in LBP, (b)...
