Clinical Trial[Effectiveness of a rehabilitation and occupational behavioral cognitive group intervention for chronic low back pain with low disability. Prospective study with a 6-month follow-up].
Literature suggests a bio-psychosocial approach to chronic low back pain, heralding disability. A multidisciplinary combination of motor, occupational and cognitive behavioural therapies constitutes a rehabilitative approach provided with growing evidence in the clinic field of spinal chronic pain. ⋯ The trial showed evidence in favour of a combined motor, occupational and cognitive-behavioural approach, carried out in group, for low disability chronic low back pain. Considering methodological biases of the study, we recommend confirmation of these results through randomized controlled trial.
