External validation of four models predicting treatment success after interdisciplinary multimodal pain treatment
Standardized patient-reported outcome measures can predict IMPT success effectively. "<i>Treatment control</i>" (i.e., expected treatment effect) emerged as the most consistent predictor. Predictor relevance varied by outcome, underscoring the importance of careful outcome selection. These results support patient-centered care, and tailoring interventions to individual factors for optimal treatment success.
