RETRACTED: Group-based multimodal exercises integrated with cognitive-behavioural therapy improve disability, pain and quality of life of subjects with chronic neck pain: a randomized controlled trial with one-year follow-up
Open accessAbstract
Objective To evaluate the effect of a group-based multidisciplinary rehabilitation programme on disability, pain and quality of life in subjects with chronic neck pain. Design Randomized controlled trial. Setting Specialized rehabilitation centre. Subjects A total of 170 patients (mean age of 53 years (13); 121 females). Interventions The multidisciplinary group underwent a multidisciplinary rehabilitation programme combining multimodal exercises with psychologist-lead cognitive-behavioural therapy sessions. The general exercise group underwent general physiotherapy. Both groups followed group-based programmes once a week for ten weeks. Additionally, the multidisciplinary group met with the psychologist once a week for a 60-minute session. Main measures The Neck Disability Index (primary outcome), the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia, the Pain Catastrophizing Scale, a pain numerical rating scale and the Short-Form Health Survey. The participants were evaluated before, after training and after 12 months. Results A linear mixed model for repeated measures was used for each outcome measure. Significant effects ( p-value Conclusions A group-based multidisciplinary rehabilitation programme including cognitive-behavioural therapy was superior to group-based general physiotherapy in improving disability, pain and quality of life of subjects with chronic neck pain. The effects lasted for at least one year.

The review initially included three additional CBT versus AC studies (401 participants) and one CBT versus TAU study (92 participants) in analyses.
“We initially included three additional CBT versus AC studies (401 participants) in our analyses (Monticone 2013; Monticone 2016; Monticone 2017), and one study of 92 participants in CBT versus TAU (Castel 2012)”

For Monticone 2013, Monticone 2016, and Monticone 2017, no explanations were offered by the authors as to why the data were major outliers from all other studies, why the efficacy estimates were so positive, and why there was no attrition.

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.
