Abstract
In industrialized countries, chronic back pain is referred to as the "number one common disease". Are there any indications of different outcomes of chronic back pain patients when treated with amultimodal, interdisciplinary pain therapy (MMSTh) compared to physiotherapy-physical therapy? Entrance and final examination by means of survey, questionnaires and physical tests in the intervention and control group, evaluation and comparison of the results. The intervention group showed very significant improvements in all tests. In contrast, the control group achieved only partial improvements in physical parameters and quality of life. This resulted in clear group differences in favor of the MMSTh. In terms of patient satisfaction, the control group showed abetter result than the intervention group. Treatment with MMSTh is superior to standard physiotherapy-physical. Due to the extensive, proven positive effect on many pain-causing and pain-preserving factors, multimodal pain centers should be used more frequently in chronic back pain patients.
