PSRT helped more patients achieve substantial reductions in disability than an established treatment (MBSR) and usual care. Findings indicate reduced pain anxiety may be a mechanism by which PSRT confers long-term benefits on disability. Importantly, this work aims to move the field toward more precise and effective treatment for chronic back pain.
