Brief summary (from the registry)
The hypothesis is that functional restoration is not only effective in term of activity limitation, but also efficient, in regard to its impact on this criterion, the use of healthcare services, return to work and job retention, in the context of chronic low back pain with occupational disability. The main objective is the medico-economic evaluation of a functional restoration program for chronic low back pain, in order to determine its efficiency using a differential cost-utility approach from an insurance perspective at 24 months after inclusion.
