Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the effects of combining cognitive behavioral therapy with exercise on adults with chronic pain, analyzing data from thirteen randomized controlled trials. The resource reports small-to-moderate improvements in pain intensity, functional disability, and various psychological outcomes compared to control groups, with benefits for pain and function sustained at three- and six-month follow-ups. It notes that effects on mental health and quality of life were less consistent over time and found no significant impact on physical performance metrics.
