External validation reveals predictors of treatment success in pain management, suggesting personalized care approaches.
Standardized patient-reported outcome measures can predict IMPT success effectively. "Treatment control" (i.e., expected treatment effect) emerged as the most consistent predictor. Predictor relevance varied by outcome, underscoring the importance of careful outcome selection. These results support patient-centered care, and tailoring interventions to individual factors for optimal treatment success.
