About this study
Official title: Feasibility of a One-day-and-a-half Multidisciplinary Education and Exercise Therapy Program for Patients With Low Back Pain: a 3-month Retrospective Open Pilot Study
The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of a one-day-and-a-half no intensive multidisciplinary education and exercise therapy program in the subgroup of patients with subacute or chronic LBP for whom first-line treatments had failed but for whom an intensive multidisciplinary rehabilitation program was not indicated.
Read the detailed description
Retrospectively, data of patients between 18 and 60 years who had benefited in the PMR unit of Cochin' hospital of a one-day-and-a-half no intensive multidisciplinary education and exercise therapy program are collected.
This no intensive multidisciplinary education and exercise therapy program is proposed by the PMR unit of Cochin' hospital to all patients with a subacute or chronic low back pain for whom first-line treatments had failed but for whom an intensive multidisciplinary rehabilitation program is not indicated.
It is done in group of 4 to 6 people, performed by medical doctors with experience in the management of patients with low back pain, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and psychologist.
Data regarding feasibility of this program were recorded with autoquestionnaires that patients had to fill in during the program and 3 months after.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Acceptability
Acceptability of the program by the patients (evaluated by a visual analog scale (VAS) between 0 and 100 with 100 representing the best acceptability and 0 the lowest acceptability)
Measured: 3 months
Secondary outcomes (2)
Efficiency
Efficiency of the program to diminish pain (evaluated by a visual analog scale (VAS) between 0 and 100 with 100 representing the most important pain and 0 no pain at all)
Measured: 3 months
Efficiency
Efficiency of the program to diminish fear and beliefs (FABQ, between 0 and 66 with 66 representing the highest level of fear and beliefs about low back pain and 0 representing no fear and beliefs about low back pain)
Measured: 3 months
