Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Treatment of low back pain: Second extended follow up of an original trial (NCT00600197) comparing a multidisciplinary group-based rehabilitation program with oral drug treatment alone up to 30 months.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of the extended 30-month follow-up of an original trial (NCT00600197) which has been published in the Clinical Journal of Pain. ⋯ The proposed multidisciplinary program could improve mental health and disability up to 30 months in chronic low back pain patients.

The development of the Dutch version of the Fremantle Back Awareness Questionnaire.
Disturbed body perception may play a role in the aetiology of chronic low back pain (LBP). The Fremantle Back Awareness Questionnaire (FreBAQ) is currently the only self-report questionnaire to assess back-specific body perception in individuals with LBP. ⋯ The Dutch version of the FreBAQ can be considered as unidimensional and showed adequate internal consistency, sufficient test-retest reliability and adequate discriminant and construct validity in individuals with and without LBP. It can improve our understanding on back-specific perception in the Dutch-speaking population with LBP.

To develop a health economic model to evaluate the long-term costs and outcomes over the healthcare treatment pathway for patients with low back pain (LBP). ⋯ This pathway model shows that most patients with LBP receive conservative care, and a minority consume high-cost healthcare interventions like surgery. The model could be used to see broad economic effects of different patterns of healthcare provision in sub-groups with LBP and to estimate where it is possible to influence these pathways to increase utility for patients and for society.
