| description | Currently, there is no consensus on the best rehabilitation program to perform for nonspecific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP). However, multimodal exercises, education, and group-based sessions seem to be beneficial. We, therefore, launched such a treatment program and aimed to evaluate its effectiveness in improving patient health status. We retrospectively analyzed the records of 23 NSCLB patients who followed the MyBack program at La Tour hospital from 2020 to 2022 (25 sessions, 8 weeks). Patients were evaluated before and after intervention using pain on a visual analog scale (pVAS), Roland–Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ), Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK), and the EuroQol-5D-3L (EQ-5D-3L). Responder rates were calculated using minimal clinically important differences. Patients reported a significant reduction (<i>p</i> < 0.05) in the pVAS (5.3 ± 1.2 vs. 3.1 ± 1.6), RMDQ (8.8 ± 3.3 vs. 4.0 ± 3.7), PCS (24.5 ± 9.4 vs. 11.7 ± 7.9) and TSK (41.5 ± 9.2 vs. 32.7 ± 7.0). The EQ-5D-3L also statistically improved (score: 0.59 ± 0.14 vs. 0.73 ± 0.07; and VAS: 54.8 ± 16.8 vs. 67.0 ± 15.2). The responder rates were 78% for the pVAS and PCS, 74% for the RMDQ and TSK, and only 26% for the EQ-5D-3L. The MyBack program combining education with multimodal group exercises led to satisfactory clinical, functional, and psychosocial outcomes. |
