Abstrakt: Introduction: Chronic pain is treated with multimodal rehabilitation programs, targeting improvement in several health aspects. These treatments must be evaluated multidimensionally, which is a methodological challenge.
Objectives: This study investigated factors (demographic, pain-related, and individual- vs group-based treatment) predicting successful outcomes after multimodal pain rehabilitation programs.
Methods: Data from 3 outpatient clinics were retrieved from the Swedish Quality Registry for Pain Rehabilitation, for 314 patients (218 women). Outcome variables were dichotomized as binary change (improved or not improved) based on clinical thresholds. Total improvement grouped outcomes into 0 to 2, 3 to 4, and 5 to 6 improved variables. Binary logistic regression analyses investigated the association between the baseline predictors and change variables.
Results: Patients improving after treatment ranged from 34% (pain intensity) to 80% (depression) for women and 34% to 76% for men, respectively. Total improvement outcome was consistent (after treatment and 1 year) with 28% of patients improving on 5 to 6 outcomes. The baseline predictor related to most improved outcomes was pain intensity, with positive correlation to improvement in pain intensity ( P < 0.001) and negative correlation with improvements in anxiety ( P = 0.075) and depression ( P = 0.002). Individual-based treatment, compared with group-based treatment, was associated with improvement in pain intensity ( P = 0.008).
Conclusions: About a third of patients improved in several outcomes by the end of a multimodal program, with most improvement for depression and least for pain intensity. Generally, patients with more severe health status at baseline improve most directly after treatment, but these findings could not suggest treatment adjustments that would improve overall success rates.
