Cognitive Functional Therapy for Chronic Low Back Pain

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

There is evidence, of a single randomized controlled trial, that CFT is better than combined manual therapy and motor control exercise for chronic low back pain. However, this study had significant methodological shortcomings regarding the failure to carry out the intention to treat analysis and a considerable loss of follow-up of patients. It is important to replicate this study through a randomized clinical trial with similar objectives in another domain, but correcting these methodological shortcomings. Therefore, the aim of the study is to assess the efficacy of Cognitive Functional Therapy in patients with chronic non specific low back pain.

Clinical Trial Description

One hundred and forty eight patients with chronic low back pain from two outpatient physiotherapy clinics in Brazil will be randomized to receive either Cognitive Functional Therapy or combined Manual Therapy and Motor Control Exercises. Intervention: 4-10 sessions of CFT. Control: 4-10 sessions of combined Manual Therapy and Motor Control Exercises. Measurements: Clinical outcomes will be assessed at the baseline, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after randomization. Analysis: Intention-to-treat analysis will be performed, and linear mixed models will be calculated to evaluate the effect of the intervention. Non-specific predictors, moderators and mediators of outcome will also be analysed. Discussion: This study will investigate whether the results of the first CFT clinical trial can be replicated. In addition, the results will contribute to a better understanding of the efficacy of the CFT approach. ;
