Brief summary (from the registry)
This study was conducted with 519 patients in order to examine the clinical and cost-effectiveness of different exercise trainings in patients with chronic pain and the adherence of the patients to the exercises given. The patients were divided into 3 groups as home-based exercise groups, physiotherapist-led groups and home-based follow up groups, and traditional physical therapy was applied for a total of 10 sessions. The patients were offered exercises in the form of a brochure to the home-based exercise groups, applied to the exercise group under the guidance of a physiotherapist, and to the home-based follow up groups in a way that reminded them of the exercises by sending a daily text message (SMS) after they were given exercise training accompanied by a physiotherapist. They were told to continue their exercises after the treatment. All groups were evaluated in terms of economic, clinical, quality of life, exercise adherence, and satisfaction three times: before the treatment, after the treatment, and three months after the treatment. Cost utility analysis (QALY) and cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) were used as part of the economic evaluation. Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Neck Disability Index (NDI) were used for clinical evaluation. Quality of life was assessed with the EuroQol General Quality of Life Scale (EQ-5D-5L). A scale consisting of 5 (five) questions prepared by us was used for adherence with the exercise. In the evaluation of satisfaction, individuals were asked to give a score between 0-100. All three groups were called to the hospital for control three months later, and the 5-question scale prepared by us was directed to the patients and it was determined how the given exercises were done.
