Which physiotherapy approach prevails in cost-effectiveness for back and neck pain: Solution-Finding vs. McKenzie?

In 2007, a study conducted by Manca et. al., delves into the cost-effectiveness of two distinct physiotherapy interventions for managing back and neck pain in primary care settings. The study compares a brief pain management approach rooted in cognitive-behavioral principles, termed the Solution-Finding Approach, with the more conventional McKenzie Approach. The investigation, which ran alongside a randomized trial, scrutinized the incremental variances in costs and … Continue reading Which physiotherapy approach prevails in cost-effectiveness for back and neck pain: Solution-Finding vs. McKenzie?

Which treatment strategy reigns economically: Brief pain management program vs. physical therapy for low back pain?

Current guidelines advocate for early intervention addressing psychosocial factors linked to long-term disability in acute low back pain cases. In 2007, Whitehurst, et. al., conducted study which aimed to evaluate the cost utility and effectiveness of a brief pain management program (BPM) targeting psychosocial factors compared to physical therapy (PT) for patients with low back pain in primary care, lasting less than 12 weeks. In … Continue reading Which treatment strategy reigns economically: Brief pain management program vs. physical therapy for low back pain?

How cost-effective is physical therapy in reflex sympathetic dystrophy?

In 1999, Severens, et. al., conducted study about Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) which poses a challenging scenario for patients, particularly in the realm of treatment effectiveness and associated costs. In an effort to shed light on this matter, a two-center randomized clinical trial was conducted to compare the cost-effectiveness of adjuvant treatments, specifically pairwise physical therapy (PT), occupational therapy (OT), and control treatment (CT). The … Continue reading How cost-effective is physical therapy in reflex sympathetic dystrophy?
