Évaluation de l'efficacité d'une thérapie comportementale et cognitive (TCC) de groupe auprès de patients souffrant de lombalgies chroniques liées au travail

This preliminary study suggests the importance of combining CBT group treatment with physiotherapy treatment for patients suffering from chronic, work-related low-back pain. On one hand, in accordance to our hypotheses, the specific effect of CBT treatment on variables linked to functional consequences and psychological risk factors was observed. On the other hand, the CBT programme seemed to have a protective effect on vulnerability factors. These observed clinical benefits should be extended to a larger number of groups. It would seem to be pertinent to work on a transdiagnostic and processual approach in order to identify underlying psychological mechanisms in the link between pain and risk factors/emotional problems, notably emotional regulation problems, in order to improve treatment efficiency (Linton, 2013; Linton and Bergbom, 2011).
