Cognitive-Behavioral Physical Therapy
Completed · Phase 1/Phase 2
Conditions studied: Spinal Stenosis
In brief
The overall objective of this application is to conduct a two-group randomized controlled trial (RCT) to gather preliminary evidence on the efficacy of a brief cognitive-behavioral based PT (CBPT) intervention in patients at-risk for poor outcomes following lumbar spine surgery for degenerative conditions. Our central hypothesis is that incorporating cognitive and behavioral strategies into postoperative standard of care PT will improve surgical outcomes, through reductions in fear of movement and pain catastrophizing. We have established the feasibility of training therapists in the CBPT intervention, recruiting and retaining patients, and the procedures for data collection and study management. The long-term goal is to broaden the availability of well-accepted and effective CBT strategies by expanding the implementation from traditional providers, psychologists, to a group of providers, physical therapists, who routinely interact with musculoskeletal pain populations.
