Comparative Effectiveness of Postoperative Management for Degenerative Spinal Conditions
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating CBPT and Education for Spinal Degenerative Disorder. Completed, enrolled 248 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The overall objective of this study is to conduct a two-group randomized control trial (RCT) to compare which of two treatments provided by telephone - a cognitive-behavioral based physical therapy (CBPT) program focusing on self-management strategies or an education program about postoperative recovery - are more effective for improving patient-centered outcomes in older adults recovering from lumbar spine surgery for degenerative conditions. Our central hypothesis is that the CBPT intervention focusing on self-management will decrease pain and disability and improve general health, physical activity and physical function in community-dwelling adults undergoing spine surgery, through reductions in fear of movement and increases in pain self-efficacy.
