The Long-term Effect of an Outpatient Intervention Program With a Behavioral Therapy Approach in Patients With Chronic Back or Neck Pain With a Focus on Psychosocial Aspects
To investigated whether an ambulant intervention program with a behavioral therapy approach would exert a long-term effect on chronic unspecific back or neck pain.
Specifically, the effect on patients with pronounced fear avoidance behavior and/or with psychosocial limitations was addressed.

Descrição detalhada
BACKGROUND: Sustained success of ambulant intervention programs consisting of individual and group physiotherapy in patients with with chronic unspecific back or neck pain (cBP) has not been conclusively proven. It's still not clear whether one can achieve such success by devoting greater attention to psychosocial factors.
OBJECTIVE: We investigated whether an ambulant intervention program with a behavioral therapy approach would exert a long-term effect on cBP. Specifically, the effect on patients with pronounced fear avoidance behavior and/or with psychosocial limitations was addressed.
DESIGN: Prospective, randomized controlled trial
SETTINGS, INTERVENTION: 64 patients were assigned to intervention group (IG) and 57 to control group (CG). All were examined, informed about cBP, and were encouraged to stay active and perform exercises according to specific instructions provided in a neck- or back-book. The IG received 9 units of physiotherapy and 2 units of occupational therapy, conducted with a behavioral therapy approach. Efficacy of treatment was evaluated after 6 and 58 weeks.
MEASUREMENTS: Pain (VAS), quantity of painkillers consumed, sick leave days, Oswestry-Disability-Index (ODI), SF-36, FABQ.

Physiotherapy and occupational therapy: Training group received 9 units of physiotherapy and 2 units of occupational therapy, each with a duration of one hour.
|
Members of the training group received 9 units of physiotherapy and 2 units of occupational therapy, each with a duration of one hour.
Every patient of the IG was trained to perform a neck or back intervention program specifically suited to his/her needs.
The training was conducted in a single session by one of three experienced physiotherapists (with mean work experience of 6 years).
After this training the patients completed eight group training units consisting a maximum number of 8 participants, each unit with a duration of one hour, over a maximum period of six weeks.

Sem intervenção: Control Group
Members of the control group were referred to their general practitioner or specialist for further care.

Medidas de resultados primários
Medida de resultado |
Descrição da medida |
Prazo |
|---|---|---|
|
Pain
Prazo: After 0 / 6 / 58 Weeks
|
To evaluate the main hypothesis, current pain and mean pain during the preceding week and the preceding 3 months were determined on a visual analog scale (VAS; 0-100, lower scores indicate less severe pain)
|
After 0 / 6 / 58 Weeks
|
Medidas de resultados secundários
Medida de resultado |
Descrição da medida |
Prazo |
|---|---|---|
|
Social function, psychological wellbeing and emotional role function
Prazo: After 0 / 6 / 58 weeks
|
To evaluate social function, psychological wellbeing and emotional role function we used the 36-item short form health survey (SF-36; scales 0-100, lower scores indicate poorer social, psychological and emotional quality of life)
|
After 0 / 6 / 58 weeks
|
|
Functional impairment
Prazo: After 0 / 6 / 58 weeks
|
The Oswestry disability index was used to measure functional impairment.
|
After 0 / 6 / 58 weeks
|
|
Anxiety, insecurity in social contacts and compulsiveness
Prazo: After 0 / 6 / 58 weeks
|
Anxiety, insecurity in social contacts and compulsiveness were registered on the brief symptoms inventory (BSI), which is an abridged version of SCL-90_R.
The BSI addresses subjective experience of impairment based on a list of symptoms that are partly physical and partly psychological.
The time frame is seven days.
|
After 0 / 6 / 58 weeks
|
|
Sick leave days
Prazo: After 0 / 58 weeks
|
The number of (self-reported) days of sick leave due to pain during the preceding twelve months were inquired.
|
After 0 / 58 weeks
|
|
Painkillers
Prazo: After 0 / 58 weeks
|
The number of painkillers taken per day were inquired.
|
After 0 / 58 weeks
|
|
Fear avoidance behavior
Prazo: After 0 / 6 / 58 weeks
|
Fear avoidance behavior was determined by means of the fear avoidance beliefs questionnaire (FABQ; scale 0-66; lower scores indicate lower fear-avoidance beliefs)
|
After 0 / 6 / 58 weeks
