Examining the association between group context effects and individual outcomes in an interdisciplinary group-based treatment for chronic pain based on acceptance and commitment therapy.

Background: Although cognitive-behavioural treatments for chronic pain are delivered in groups, there is little research investigating group effects in these treatments.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate associations between group composition variables at the start of treatment and individual outcomes following intensive interdisciplinary treatment for pain based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

Methods: This was a secondary analysis of routinely collected observational data.

"Living more and struggling less": a qualitative descriptive study of patient experiences of physiotherapy informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy within a multidisciplinary pain management programme.

Objectives: Physiotherapists increasingly deliver treatment informed by cognitive-behavioural therapy, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), for persistent pain. This study explored patients' experiences of ACT-informed physiotherapy to better understand therapeutic processes and outcomes.

Design: A qualitative descriptive study was conducted.
