The effect of cognitive behavioural therapy on pain and disability in chronic non-specific low back pain: An overview of systematic reviews
Overview
This overview of systematic reviews examines the efficacy of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for managing pain and disability in adults with chronic non-specific low back pain. The authors compare CBT outcomes against usual care, other active treatments, and surgery, noting that while CBT shows some benefit, the overall quality of evidence is limited by high risk of bias and heterogeneity. The resource highlights gaps in research regarding specific therapies like ACT and standardization of CBT delivery methods.
