BMC Musculoskelet Disord. 2008 Dec 30;9:172125 patients with subacute or chronic non-specific back and neck pain (BNP) were randomized to either receive cognitive-behavioural rehabilitation or primary-care. The results indicated that for patients presenting with both subacute and chronic back and neck pain, there was no difference between a cognitive-rehabilitation program compared to primary-care at 18 months.

Whereas, for chronic patients the cognitive-rehabilitation program was only superior in terms of health-care visits.
