Economic evaluation of videoconference group Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Behavioral Activation Therapy for Depression versus usual care among adults with chronic low back pain plus comorbid depressive symptoms

This study examined the cost-utility and cost-effectiveness of videoconference-based group forms of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Behavioral Activation Therapy for Depression (BATD), as a complement to treatment-as-usual (TAU), for patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) plus depressive symptoms, compared to TAU alone. A trial-based economic evaluation (n = 234) was conducted from a governmental and healthcare perspective with a time horizon of 12 months.
