Multimodal cognitive behavioral treatment of patients sicklisted for musculoskeletal pain: A randomized controlled study

E. M. H. Haldorsen, K. Kronholm, J.·1998·Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology

Abstract

In a randomized controlled study multimodal cognitive behavioral treatment (MMCBT), including physical treatment, cognitive behavioral modification, education, and examination of the work situation for each patient, was given to patients sick-listed for musculoskeletal pain (n = 469). Patients were recruited through the National Insurance System. After a pre-test by an independent physiotherapist the patients were allocated at random to the intervention group (n = 312) or the control group (n = 157). The MMBCT program lasted for 4 weeks. The control group returned to their general practitioners, without any feedback or advice on therapy from the project. At the one year follow-up the MMCBT group had not returned to work at a higher rate than the control group receiving ordinary treatment available through their general practitioners. However, the MMCBT group had improved their ergonomic behavior, work potential, life quality, physical, and psychological health.

  • GET, exercises with a behavioural approach, CBT, Coping Strategies, Psychological Flexibility, and V.R. had positive effects on pain reduction compared to usual care, while Web-BCPA, EFT, matching therapy to psychological features, and physical cognitive-mindfulness did not affect reducing pain intensity.

    “GET, exercises with a behavioural approach, CBT, Coping Strategies, Psychological Flexibility, and V.R. had positive effects on pain reduction compared to usual care (Table 2) [18, 26, 27, 29, 30, 33]. Web-BCPA, EFT, matching therapy to psychological features, and physical cognitive-mindfulness did not affect reducing pain intensity.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
