PY - 2020 DA - 2020/03/12 TI - Cost-effectiveness of pain management services for chronic low back pain: a systematic review of published studies JO - BMC Health Services Research SP - 194 VL - 20 IS - 1 AB - Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a highly prevalent condition that has substantial impact on patients, the healthcare system and society. Pain management services (PMS), which aim to address the complex nature of back pain, are recommended in clinical practice guidelines to manage CLBP. Although the effectiveness of such services has been widely investigated in relation to CLBP, the quality of evidence underpinning the use of these services remains moderate. Therefore the aim is to summarize and critically appraise the current evidence for the cost effectiveness of pain management services for managing chronic back pain.
