Brief summary (from the registry)
Introduction Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a highly prevalent health condition, and the leading cause of years lived with disability. The high prevalence causes a substantial impact on patients, communities and health-care systems. There is a continuing challenge to offer evidence-based rehabilitation for patients with CLBP. There is a lack of studies on adequate follow-up approaches to maintain successful treatment. No earlier study has assessed if the positive treatment effects of a multidisciplinary rehabilitation intervention can be maintained with an intervention alternating between inpatient interventions and home-based activities. Aim To assess if a novel multidisciplinary rehabilitation intervention is more effective in maintaining successful treatment after 6 months, than a usual multidisciplinary rehabilitation intervention in patients with CLBP. The novel intervention is a 14-week program alternating between in total three weeks of inpatient intervention and home-based activities. This alternation allows the participants time and opportunity to adapt and transfer inpatient learning to activities and participation in their own environment in interaction with everyday life situations and surroundings. Usual care is a four-week inpatient intervention. It is hypothesized that the intervention will be superior to usual care. Method The study will be conducted at The Danish Rheumatism Associations' rehabilitation centre Sano Aarhus. 160 participants with CLBP will be randomly allocated to one of two groups. The novel intervention consists of: 1) a pre-admission day, 2) two weeks of home-based activities, 3) two-week inpatient period, 4) four weeks of home-based activities, 5) 1st two-days inpatient follow-up, 6) six weeks of home-based activities and 7) 2nd two-days inpatient follow-up. Usual care consists of a four-week inpatient intervention. The two groups will be compared according to disability, pain, pain self-efficacy, quality of life, depression and e…
