Treatment of Chronic Low Back Pain Medscape

Description: Objective. To compare the efficacies of 2 active therapies for chronic low back pain (CLBP).
Conclusion. Both groups showed long-term improvements in pain and disability scores, with only minor statistically significant differences between the 2 groups. The minor outcome difference in favor of the group-based multidisciplinary rehabilitation program is hardly of clinical interest for individual patients.
