Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of Clinic-Based and Telerehabilitation-Based Motor Control Exercises in Individuals with Chronic Low Back Pain - A Randomized Controlled Trial with 3-Month Follow-Up.
To evaluate the effectiveness of clinic-based and telerehabilitation-based motor control exercises in individuals with chronic low-back pain 3 months posttreatment. ⋯ Telerehabilitation-based motor control exercises proved as effective as clinic-based methods in treating chronic low-back pain, offering a viable alternative tailored to individual needs and circumstances.

Interdisciplinary multimodal pain therapy (IMPT) is mostly run in a group setting to encourage the exchange of experiences between patients and thus facilitate the change of pain-related attitudes and behavior. As is known from psychotherapy research, the fellow patients in a therapy group have a relevant influence on the success of the therapy for the individual patient. ⋯ Despite methodological limitations our results suggest that in patient groups of an IMST, patients with therapy experience and those with advanced cognitive behavioral methods for pain management should be combined with novices and patients who are still at the beginning of coping with the chronic pain disorder.

The present study examined the extent to which emotional experience and emotional competence (EC) change in people with chronic pain during interdisciplinary multimodal pain treatment (IMPT). ⋯ Improvements in patient-reported frequencies of positive and negative emotions during IMPT were demonstrated. Further research should validate these results using a control group. Even though no explicit increase in competence was perceivable for the studied subjects, EC had a high predictive value for emotion frequency. Future therapy designs and evaluations should focus more on changes of emotional experience.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
The comparison of Pilates with cognitive functional therapy in adults with chronic neck pain: a protocol for randomized controlled trial.
Chronic Neck Pain is one of the main musculoskeletal problems in the general population that negatively affects the lives of patients. Its treatment can include various treatment methods, such as Pilates and Cognitive Functional Therapy. The purpose of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of Pilates in relation to Cognitive Functional Therapy in people with Chronic Neck Pain. ⋯ This is the first Randomized Controlled Trial to compare the effectiveness of Pilates and Cognitive Functional Therapy in patients with chronic neck pain. The results of this research will provide information on the effectiveness of each intervention separately and whether one of the two can outperform the other.

Chronic pain is prevalent among individuals with higher body weight and associated with greater impairment. As a result, weight loss is a common recommendation for pain management among those with higher body weight. Body weight is an appealing target because it is modifiable and evidence-based treatments to produce weight loss are well-established. ⋯ PERSPECTIVE: This focus article critically considers the role of weight loss in management of chronic pain among individuals of higher body. Using knee osteoarthritis as an exemplar, the evidence and clinical uptake of weight loss for pain management is reviewed. Limitations are considered to guide future research and clinical care.
