Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a recurrent debilitating condition that costs billions to
society. Refractoriness to conventional treatment, lack of improvement, and associated
movement disorders could be related to the extensive brain plasticity present in this
condition, especially in the sensorimotor cortices. This narrative review on corticomotor
plasticity in CLBP will try to delineate how interventions such as training and
neuromodulation can improve the condition. The review recommends subgrouping …
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a recurrent debilitating condition that costs billions to society. Refractoriness to conventional treatment, lack of improvement, and associated movement disorders could be related to the extensive brain plasticity present in this condition, especially in the sensorimotor cortices. This narrative review on corticomotor plasticity in CLBP will try to delineate how interventions such as training and neuromodulation can improve the condition. The review recommends subgrouping classification in CLBP owing to brain plasticity markers with a view of better understanding and treating this complex condition.
