Experiences of training and delivery of Physical therapy informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (PACT): a longitudinal qualitative study.

Objectives: Physiotherapy informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (PACT) is a novel intervention that is related to improved disability and functioning in people with chronic lowback pain. This study explored physiotherapists experiences over time of the PACT training programme and intervention delivery.

Design: A longitudinal qualitative study using semi-structured, in-depth, individual interviews at three time points was conducted.

Physical Therapy Informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (PACT) Versus Usual Care Physical Therapy for Adults With Chronic Low Back Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a major cause of global disability and improving management is essential. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is a promising treatment for chronic pain but has not been modified for physical therapy. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) compared physical therapy informed by ACT (PACT) against standard care physical therapy for patients with CLBP.

Effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of three types of physiotherapy used to reduce chronic low back pain disability: a pragmatic randomized trial with economic evaluation.

Study Design: Pragmatic, randomized, assessor blinded, clinical trial with economic analysis.

Objective: To compare the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of three kinds of physiotherapy commonly used to reduce disability in chronic low back pain.

Summary Of Background Data: Physiotherapy reduces disability in chronic back pain, but there are several forms of physiotherapy and it is unclear which is most effective or cost effective.
