Ninety-two chronic low back pain patients were randomly allocated to two groups to evaluate the effectiveness of a back school compared with an exercise-only regimen according to specified outcome variables. The data from 78 patients with 7 years mean duration of symptoms was analyzed. Three assessments were made: before treatment and 6 and 16 weeks after treatment. Changes in patients' levels of pain, functional disability, and other related variables were compared in the two groups. Almost all variables showed an improvement at 6 weeks. At 16 weeks, functional disability and pain levels showed a significant difference. Back school patients continued to make an improvement. This method of managing low back pain makes maximal use of limited resources and appears to be effective, especially in the longer term.
92名慢性腰痛患者被随机分为两组，根据特定的结果变量评估与仅进行锻炼的方案相比，腰痛学校的有效性。分析了78名平均症状持续时间为7年的患者的数据。进行了三次评估：治疗前、治疗后6周和16周。比较了两组患者疼痛水平、功能障碍及其他相关变量的变化。几乎所有变量在6周时都有改善。在16周时，功能障碍和疼痛水平有显著差异。参加腰痛学校的患者持续改善。这种管理腰痛的方法最大限度地利用了有限的资源，而且似乎是有效的，尤其是从长期来看。
