Overview

Systematic review reveals that cognitive functional therapy improves disability in chronic low back pain, highlighting strong comparative effectiveness against standard care.

Key Points

  • Cognitive functional therapy significantly reduces disability in chronic low back pain compared to usual care.
  • Reduction in disability was noted with an effect size of -1.00 when combined with biofeedback.
  • Systematic review with network meta-analysis included 58 trials involving over 10,000 participants.
  • Results indicate high risk of bias, suggesting future research is needed for confirmation.
