A biopsychosocial rehabilitation is recommended for chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNLBP); however, its effectiveness compared to the traditional supervised exercise therapy of CNLBP treatment is still unclear.
This was a parallel-group randomized controlled clinical trial. The sample consisted of 180 participants of both sexes, aged ≥18 years, with CNLBP for ≥3 months. Using web randomization and concealed allocation, they were assigned to three groups; graded activity receiving cognitive-behavioral therapy, group-based combined exercise therapy and education (GA; n = 59), supervised group-based combined exercise therapy and education (SET; n = 63), and a control group receiving usual care (n = 58). Interventions were administered for 4 weeks (8 sessions). The primary outcome was pain intensity. Outcome measures were collected baseline, after interventions (4 weeks), and during two follow-up periods (3 and 6 months).
After the intervention, GA had a significant large effect on pain reduction compared to the control group (MD of 22.64 points; 95% CI = 16.10 to 29.19; p < 0.0001; Cohen's d = 1.70), as well as SET compared with the control group (MD of 21.08 points; 95% CI = 14.64 to 27.52; p < 0.0001; Cohen's d = 1.39), without significant difference between two intervention groups. At 3 and 6 months of follow-up, GA had a statistically significantly better effect in reducing pain, disability and fear-avoidance beliefs, and improving spinal extensor endurance, range of extension and quality of life compared to SET and the control group. A statistically significantly better effect of SET compared with the control group was found in reducing pain, disability, fear-avoidance beliefs, and improving the physical component of quality of life. Harms were not reported.
This study suggests that graded activity and group-based supervised exercise therapy have beneficial effects over the control group in the treatment of CNLBP. The graded activity was more beneficial than supervised group-based exercise therapy only during the follow-up.

慢性非特异性下腰痛(CNLBP)推荐采用生物心理社会康复治疗;然而,与传统的 CNLBP 治疗监督下的运动疗法相比,其疗效仍不清楚。
这是一项平行组随机对照临床试验。样本包括 180 名年龄≥18 岁、CNLBP 持续时间≥3 个月的男女参与者。使用网络随机和隐藏分配,将他们分为三组;接受认知行为治疗的分级活动、基于小组的综合运动治疗和教育(GA;n=59)、监督小组的综合运动治疗和教育(SET;n=63)以及接受常规护理的对照组(n=58)。干预措施在 4 周(8 次)内进行。主要结局为疼痛强度。在基线、干预后(4 周)以及两个随访期(3 个月和 6 个月)时进行了测量。
干预后,GA 与对照组相比,疼痛减轻的效果显著较大(MD 为 22.64 分;95%CI=16.10 至 29.19;p<0.0001;Cohen's d=1.70),SET 与对照组相比,疼痛减轻的效果也显著较大(MD 为 21.08 分;95%CI=14.64 至 27.52;p<0.0001;Cohen's d=1.39),但两组干预之间无显著差异。在 3 和 6 个月的随访中,GA 在降低疼痛、残疾和回避恐惧信念,以及改善脊柱伸肌耐力、伸展范围和生活质量方面的效果均显著优于 SET 和对照组,SET 与对照组相比,降低疼痛、残疾、回避恐惧信念,以及改善生活质量的身体成分方面的效果也显著更好。未报告危害。
本研究表明,分级活动和基于小组的监督运动疗法对 CNLBP 的治疗效果优于对照组。在随访期间,分级活动的效果优于监督小组的运动疗法。
