Interventions
Cognitive Functional Therapy is an integrated behavioral approach for individualizing the management of people with chronic pain, originally developed for Low Back Pain Patients. It uses a multidimensional "clinical reasoning framework" to identify key modifiable targets for management on the basis of careful listening to the individual's story and examining the individual's behavioral responses to pain. This approach enables the treating clinician to take individuals on a journey to effectively self-manage their chronic pain with a program that is tailored to their unique clinical presentation and context.
