Assessing the Impact of Interdisciplinary Multimodal Pain Treatment on Health‐Related Quality of Life in Chronic Pain: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analyses

This is the first review to compare Interprofessional Multimodal Pain Therapy (IMPT) with treatment-as-usual (TAU) and active control groups (ACG) across all Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) domains for chronic pain, with short, intermediate and long-term follow-up, adjusting for intervention duration. Findings provide evidence of IMPT's superiority over TAU for physical and emotional functioning, pain and general health. Novel findings show benefits over both TAU and ACG for social functioning, over TAU for vitality and over ACG for pain.
