Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Cognitive functional therapy in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain-a randomized controlled trial 3-year follow-up.
This randomized controlled trial investigated the efficacy of cognitive functional therapy (CFT) compared with manual therapy and exercise (MT-EX) for people with non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP) at 3-year follow-up. ⋯ Cognitive functional therapy (CFT) was more effective than manual therapy and exercise (MT-EX) in reducing disability at 3-year follow-up, in people with non-specific chronic low back pain. The sustained reduction in disability without concomitant reductions in pain intensity in the CFT group suggests a de-coupling of the pain-disability relationship. CFT resulted in long-lasting reductions in anxiety and depression, and pain-related fear regarding work compared to MT-EX. The findings support the long-term benefits of a individualized behaviourally orientated intervention that targets pain beliefs, functional restoration and lifestyle factors.

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a major health problem. Identifying prognostic factors is essential for identifying people at risk of developing CLBP-related disability. ⋯ The study results supported the multifactorial nature of CLBP and reported an important prognostic model in the Saudi population.
