Brief summary (from the registry)
Background: In chronic back pain, rehabilitation specific aftercare programs, needed for a long-term improvement of pain and functional ability, are absent. Purposeful and differentiated aftercare treatments offer the possibility, in particular in the rehabilitation of chronic back pain, to increase the sustainability of positive effects of a mostly three weeks taking rehabilitation or to intensify them. Hypothesis: The implementation of a developed bio-psycho-social aftercare intervention program for CLBP (RÜCKGEWINN) leeds to a better rehabilitation outcome in comparison to current usual aftercare (IRENA) and a control group in view of pain-conditioned functional ability and back pain episodes. Methods/Design: A multicenter prospective 3-armed randomised controlled trial is conducted. 456 participants will be consecutively enrolled in inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation and assigned to either one of the three study arms. Outcomes are measured before and after rehabilitation and twelve month after dismissal form rehabilitation into the aftercare program.
