Apart from rehabilitation research, there have been no studies regarding the expectations of patients with chronic back pain in terms of inpatient multimodal pain therapy. The aim of this naturalistic longitudinal study is to explore treatment expectations, their fulfilment, and influence on the treatment success of inpatient multimodal pain therapy. ⋯ From the clinical side, treatment expectations should be explored and checked for feasibility to avoid patient disappointment.

Multimodal pain therapy usually take place in the context of group therapy lasting several weeks and is based on a generally activating approach. Due to the specificity of stress intolerance with postexertional malaise (PEM) in patients with postviral syndromes, physical as well as psychological overload must be urgently avoided in these cases; however, these aspects can only be insufficiently considered in current medical pain therapy concepts. ⋯ The presented model project describes a day clinic treatment setting for interdisciplinary multimodal pain therapy adapted to the individual resilience with minimization of the risk of strain-induced deterioration of the condition.
