Multimodal exercises integrated with cognitive-behavioural therapy improve disability of patients with failed back surgery syndrome: a randomized controlled trial with one-year follow-up.

CONCLUSION: The multimodal intervention proposed was superior to general physiotherapy in reducing disability, kinesiophobia, catastrophising, and enhancing the quality of life of patients with FBSS. The effects were reinforced one year after the programme ended. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Multimodal exercises integrated with cognitive-behavioural therapy induced significant improvements in disability, pain, kinesiophobia, catastrophising, and quality of life of subjects with Failed Back Surgery Syndrome. A well-integrated rehabilitative team which contributes towards reaching intervention goals is advised. Physiotherapists should adopt task-oriented exercises to promote an earlier return to common activities of disabled patients. Psychologists should explain how to modify useless beliefs and support adequate behaviours, in order to produce constructive attitudes towards perceived disability.
