Effectiveness and Cost-Effectiveness Of Three Types Of Active Physiotherapy Used To Reduce Chronic Low-Back Pain Disability: A Pragmatic Randomised Trial With Economic Evaluation
Duncan Critchley,Michael Hurley +1 more
TL;DR: All three physiotherapy regimens improved disability and other relevant health outcomes, regardless of their content, and physiotherapist-led pain management classes offer a cost-effective alternative to usual outpatient physiotherapy and are associated with less healthcare use.
