Effects of an additional multimodal intervention (MultiMove) during inpatient rehabilitation on clinical and functional outcomes in patients with chronic low back pain- a pilot trial

Background

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a common cause of disability that affects physical and mental abilities. It often needs various treatment approaches. The MultiMove program combines movement, cognitive training, and dance to help CLBP patients. This study looked at how adding MultiMove to standard rehabilitation impacts patients.

Methods

In this study, 27 patients with CLBP were recruited from a rehabilitation clinic in Germany. They were divided into two groups. The intervention group (15 patients) participated in MultiMove sessions each day alongside standard rehabilitation, while the control group (12 patients) only followed the standard treatment. Researchers measured various physical, clinical, cognitive, and psychosocial outcomes before and after the rehabilitation period.

Results

Results showed that patients in the MultiMove group improved in many areas:

  • Increased trunk motion and walking distance.
  • Reduced pain intensity.
  • Lowered anxiety about movement.
  • Reduced depression symptoms.

Conclusion

The MultiMove intervention appears to enhance health outcomes for CLBP patients during hospital rehabilitation. More extensive studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Practical Healthcare Solutions

Based on these results, clinics should consider adopting the MultiMove approach as part of their rehabilitation programs for CLBP patients.

Goals and Measurable Outcomes

Clinics should set clear goals for patient rehabilitation by tracking improvements in:

  • Physical mobility.
  • Pain levels.
  • Mental health.

Implementing AI in Clinical Practice

Clinics can use AI tools to monitor patient progress and customize treatment plans based on individual needs.
