Researchers from England are confident that when physical therapists add cognitive behavioral interventions to their treatment of patients with back pain, outcomes improve – especially for individuals with long-term disability.

Bart Klaassen, from the Netherlands’ University of Twente, and the rest of his team pursued it as part of a project resulting from Europe’s FP7 research initiative. Klaassen’s doctoral thesis is based on the work, as well.
