The Efficacy of a Risk Factor-Based Cognitive Behavioral Intervention and Electromyographic Biofeedback in Patients with Acute Sciatic Pain

Abstract

Individually scheduled, risk factor-based cognitive behavior therapy could be a beneficial treatment modality, which can be offered, in addition to a medical treatment, to patients with acute sciatica and psychosocial high risk factors for chronicity. It may be an effective way to prevent chronification in these patients.
