  Body region - The complaints reported by the individuals were also grouped by regions: cervical, lumbar spine, more than one segment of the spine, upper limbs, lower limbs, two body region, and three or more regions.

  baseline, and through study completion, 1 year (12 months).

• Values of Pain intensity

  Numeric Rating Scale - is a line numbered from zero (no pain) to ten points (maximum) pain). Individuals responded about pain in the last seven days and in the last month.

  baseline, and at study completion, 1 year (12 months).

Study Arms (1)

Quality-of-Life multidisciplinary care program

EXPERIMENTAL

Six groups (between 10 -19 participants per group) received a meeting for two hours, the first hour being devoted to physical exercise, stimulating body awareness, improving mobility and muscle strengthening, relaxation and self-care.

Other: Multi professional care

Interventions

Multi professional care OTHER

Participants were instructed to respect their pain threshold during body practice and the evolution of the participants happened gradually and individually. Associated with the practice of exercise, workers received information about their disease, chronic pain, guidelines for daily activities, and the importance of physical exercise. In the second hour, the responsible psychologist addressed issues such as the repercussions of illnesses on the individual's social and affective life, self-esteem, self-image, conformism, and self-indulgence after the illness and prospects for the future. Throughout the program, participants also received informative lectures from other professionals, such as social workers, nurses, and dentists.
