Improvements in Forward Bending Are Related to Improvements in Pain and Disability During Cognitive Functional Therapy for People With Chronic Low Back Pain.

To investigate whether improvements in forward bending were related to improvements in pain and disability in people with chronic low back pain (CLBP) who were undergoing Cognitive Functional Therapy (CFT). Longitudinal observational study. Two hundred and sixty-one participants with CLBP received CFT.

"Every patient teaches you something new": experiences of physiotherapists delivering cognitive functional therapy for chronic, disabling low back pain in a randomised controlled trial.

Purpose: Cognitive functional therapy (CFT) is an individualised person-centred biopsychosocial intervention that demonstrated large and sustained clinically important improvements in people with chronic, disabling low back pain (LBP) in the RESTORE randomised controlled trial. This study aimed to explore physiotherapists' experiences of delivering CFT in the RESTORE trial.

Materials And Methods: Cross-sectional qualitative design using reflexive thematic analysis with interviews of 15 treating physiotherapists (3-25 years experience) across Perth and Sydney.

The implementation of a "safety officer" program: an innovative approach to improve infection prevention and control practices in Ethiopia.

Background: Effective infection prevention and control (IPC) was central to keeping healthcare workers (HCWs) safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, as the pandemic continued, the maintenance of high-quality IPC practices waned, placing HCWs at increased risk of infection. A COVID-19 Safety Officer (SO) program was piloted by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID)-funded Reaching Impact, Saturation and Epidemic Control (RISE) project across two health facilities in Ethiopia, which trained clinical and non-clinical HCWs on IPC protocols to promote safe practices in patient care areas.

Patients with worse disability respond best to cognitive functional therapy for chronic low back pain: a pre-planned secondary analysis of a randomised trial.

Question: Do five baseline moderators identify patients with chronic low back pain who respond best to cognitive functional therapy (CFT) when compared with usual care?

Design: Secondary analysis of the RESTORE randomised controlled trial.

Participants: A total of 492 adults with low back pain for > 3 months with at least moderate pain-related activity limitation.

Intervention: Participants were allocated to CFT alone or CFT plus biofeedback; these two groups were combined for this secondary analysis.

Cognitive Functional Therapy for Chronic Low Back Pain: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objective: The objective was to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive functional therapy (CFT) in the management of people with chronic nonspecific low back pain (LBP) and explore the variability in available trials to understand the factors which may affect the effectiveness of the intervention.

Methods: A systematic review with meta-analyses was conducted. Four databases were searched from inception to October 12, 2023.
