Summary

A randomized controlled trial of the efficacy of classification based cognitive functional physiotherapy according to the system proposed by Peter O'Sullivan as compared to manual therapy and exercise in patients with non specific chronic low back pain.

The investigators hypothesis was that treatment targeted at the mechanism behind the problem from a multidimensional perspective would be superior to traditional treatment.

Conditions

  • Chronic Low Back Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Cognitive Functional Therapy

A novel multidimensional classification system has been developed incorporating the biopsychosocial model, which subgroups patients based on their presentation with matched interventions directed at the maladaptive cognitive, physical and lifestyle behaviours associated with the disorder. The intervention is called 'cognitive functional therapy' as it directly challenges these behaviours in a functionally specific and graduated manner.

OTHER

Manual therapy and exercise

Patients in this group was treated with joint mobilization or manipulation techniques applied to the spine or pelvis primarily and was designed to be consistent with best current manual therapy practice in Norway. The particular dose and techniques were at the discretion of the treating therapist, based on each participant's objective and physical examination findings. In addition most of the patients in this group was given exercises or a home exercise program.
