A randomized trial of a lay person-led self-management group intervention for back pain patients in primary care
Von Korff M, Moore JE, et al. A randomized trial of a lay person-led self-management group intervention for back pain patients in primary care. Spine. 1998;23(23):2608-2615.
In this randomized controlled trial, lay persons with back pain were trained to lead a self-management support group. Those in the intervention group were significantly less worried about back pain, expressed more confidence in self-care, and reduced their activity limitations compared with the control group. Self-management groups led by trained patients may be an effective way to improve the health and well-being of patients with back pain.
