Subacute and chronic, non-specific back and neck pain: Cognitive-behavioural rehabilitation versus primary care. A randomized controlled trial
BMC Musculoskelet Disord. 2008 Dec 30;9:172125 patients with subacute or chronic non-specific back and neck pain (BNP) were randomized to either receive cognitive-behavioural rehabilitation or primary-care. The results indicated that for patients presenting with both subacute and chronic back and neck pain, there was no difference between a cognitive-rehabilitation program compared to primary-care at 18 months. However, this study demonstrated that for subacute patients the cognitive-rehabilitation program may be superior in terms of sick-listing and number of health-care visits. Whereas, for chronic patients the cognitive-rehabilitation program was only superior in terms of health-care visits.
