Health problem
The prevalence of low back pain ranges from 74 to 85%, almost everybody in Germany suffers from low back pain once in his or her life. The recurrence rate within twelve months is 62%, which often leads to inability to work and reduction in earning capacity. The rate of chronic manifestation of low back pain is 5%. Subsequent loss of mobility and functional disability lowers quality of life and participation in private life and at work.
Evidence
A recent Cochrane review
Implication for research
Prior to a randomised controlled trial a feasibility study about individualised multidisciplinary biopsychosocial rehabilitation compared to usual care considering people with chronic low back pain at employable age in Germany is needed. The applicability of available manuals, patient-centred outcomes and cost effectiveness should be explored.
