Spinal pain data collection: datasets and supplementary materials relating to the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of spinal pain

The spinal pain data collection is a group of datasets relating to studies of back and neck pain. The datasets are outputs of clinical studies conducted within the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Sydney from 1998 onward. The studies focus on the pathology, development, management and treatment of spinal pain, including effective mechanisms for diagnosis and prognosis, the efficacy of known treatment options and the development of new treatments for the ongoing management of chronic or non-specific pain.
The spinal pain data collection includes clinical data from physiological studies, qualitative interviews, survey data, randomised controlled trial data and data from longditudinal cohort studies. Processed data formats include spreadsheet formats (excel, .csv), SPSS files, text, video (with text transcripts) and audio. Wherever possible, the datasets have been de-identified to enable sharing and re-use.
