“…For chronic musculoskeletal pain, interventions that appear to be more effective are the multidisciplinary and multidimensional ones (Grade of recommendation: A) (Guzman et al, 2006 ; Kääpä et al, 2006 ; Mangels et al, 2009 ; Mannion et al, 2013 ; Monticone et al, 2013 ; Kamper et al, 2014 ). CBT, both conducted in individual settings (Grade of recommendation: B, these studies are not always methodologically perfect and the impact on pain is still quite low) (Turner and Jensen, 1993 ; Turner, 1996 ; Rose et al, 1997 ; Smeets et al, 2006 ; Trapp et al, 2009 ; Glombiewski et al, 2010a ; Taloyan et al, 2013 ) and group settings (Grade of recommendation: A) (Turner et al, 1990 ; Turner and Jensen, 1993 ; Newton-John et al, 1995 ; Basler et al, 1997 ; Rose et al, 1997 ; Haldorsen et al, 1998 ; Linton and Ryberg, 2001 ; Linton and Nordin, 2006 ; Lamb et al, 2010a , b ), and educational and behavioral interventions (Grade of recommendation: B) (Tavafian et al, 2007 ; Brox et al, 2008 ; Henschke et al, 2010 ; van Middelkoop et al, 2011 ) are also highly recommended. It must be noted that the efficacy of cognitive-behavioral therapies are consistent across both individual and group settings (Rose et al, 1997 ) and that all of the interventions previously listed are also effective are also effective in the context of patients planning early retirement as a result of pain or a highly disabling condition, both of which are frequently perceived as obstacles to improvement (Trapp et al, 2009 ).…”
