Two-years clinical course of pain intensity and symptom satisfaction for latent classes in older adults with back pain
Patients with a positive attitude showed lower levels of pain intensity and improved levels of symptom satisfaction throughout most of the study compared to those who were fearful and distressed. Further investigations are needed to explore the effect of actively pursuing a positive outlook during the course of back pain in older adults.
