Clinical Trial Summary

The aim is to test whether the psychotherapeutic intervention Somatic Experiencing targeting Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms will have an additional positive effect on the outcomes of guided physiotherapy against chronic back pain development.


Clinical Trial Description

Introduction: Patients with low back pain after injuries often demonstrate symptoms of PTSD measured via the Harvard Trauma Questionnaire Scale (HTQ). It has been found that PTSD and pain may maintain each other.

Methods: Thousand consecutive patients with Low Back Pain (LBP) referred to the Spine Center are screened for PTSD. It is expected that 140 patients will meet the inclusion criteria and be randomized to Guided Physiotherapy or to Guided Physiotherapy plus 12 psychotherapeutic sessions, that will include the shock-trauma method 'Somatic Experiencing'.

Effect parameters are: Pain, daily function, EuroQOL and (HTQ), anxiety and depression, fear avoidance (Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia) and pain catastrophizing (PCS) on entry, and at 6/12 months. ;
