Inflammatory back pain (IBP) is chronic pain concentrated in the axial spine and sacroiliac joints, distinguishing it from mechanical back pain through specific diagnostic features. While strongly linked to inflammatory conditions, IBP is not diagnostic. IBP is a hallmark symptom of spondyloarthritis, characterized by insidious onset, morning stiffness, and improvement with exercise but not rest. Clinicians must recognize these distinctive features for early diagnosis and appropriate management.This course discusses the association of IBP with ankylosing spondylitis and other seronegative spondyloarthropathies, including psoriatic arthritis, enteropathic arthropathy, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and reactive arthritis. Patient characteristics, chronicity, and pain progression are also discussed, offering clinicians valuable insights to differentiate IBP from other causes and emphasizing a comprehensive approach to address the complexities of this complex pain syndrome associated with spondyloarthritis.
