Multidisciplinary biopsychosocial rehabilitation for chronic low back pain: the need to present minimal important differences units in meta-analyses

“…Consistent with the Cochrane review [ 17 ], after pooling the SMDs we found a statistically significant effect in favour of MBR over usual care for pain relief in all comparisons. For the meta-analyses in MID units , the pooled estimate of the effect was 0.75 MID units (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.27–1.24; I 2 88.7, 95% CI 72.8–97.3, Fig.…”

A 12‐h combined physical and psychological treatment programme for patients with persistent back pain

“…The long-term results demonstrated significant improvements in pain self-efficacy and back disability, as measured by PSEQ and ODI, respectively, compared with the scores at initial assessment, prior to the start of the programme. These results concur with current evidence supporting the role of multidisciplinary biopsychosocial rehabilitation for persistent low back pain (Kamper et al, 2015), and the present service evaluation provides further evidence of the longer-term benefits of a shorter duration intervention of 12 h.…”

Implementation of a Multidisciplinary Guideline for Low Back Pain: Process-Evaluation Among Health Care Professionals

“…The interviews, conducted among a subset of these HCPs, indicated that the fact that this CME training was multidisciplinary and locally organised makes the application of the recommendations of the guideline into daily practice easier. This is in line with previous studies, which have shown that multidisciplinary approaches are (cost-)effective in reducing pain, disability, and fear avoidance beliefs, and that they improve work status, functional recovery and quality of life of patients with low back pain [ 19 , 20 ]. The multidisciplinary and local approach allowed professionals to get acquainted in an informal manner and have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the perspectives of other involved HCPs.…”
