Methods | RCT; 4 arms; assessed at pre‐treatment, post‐treatment, 6 months, 18 months, 3 years | |
Participants | End of treatment n = 186 Start of treatment n = 214 Sex: 117 F, 93 M Mean age = 43.3 (SD 10.4) Source = pain or rehabilitation clinic Diagnosis = mixed (mostly chronic low back pain) Mean years of pain = 2.7 |

Interventions | "CBT" "Behavioural medicine rehabilitation" "Behaviourally orientated physical therapy" (BT) "Treatment as usual" |
|
Outcomes |
Primary pain outcome: SF36 pain (reversed) Primary disability outcome: SF36 physical function (reversed) Primary mood outcome: SF36 mental health (reversed) Catastrophising outcomes: none Short Form 36 Pain Short Form 36 Physical Function Short Form 36 Mental Health |

Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Shuffled sealed envelopes |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Low risk | Sealed envelopes; procedure by researchers blind to participant screening |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | High risk | Partially reported; differential attrition; no test of differences |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Low risk | Fully reported |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | Data gathered by research team |
