Long-term effectiveness of an educational and physical intervention for preventing low-back pain recurrence: a randomized controlled trial

Résumé

Low-back pain (LBP) is a common and recurrent condition, but the evidence is scarce about effective strategies to prevent recurrence and disability in the longer term. This study investigated the effect of a light exercise program, initiated in the workplace and continued at home, in reducing recurrence of LBP episodes among healthcare workers. A total of 353 healthcare workers from ten hospitals were enrolled in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) and were randomized to the intervention or control groups, the latter of which received usual care. The intervention comprised three steps: (i) a 2-hour education session, (ii) five weekly 90-minutes exercise training sessions in the workplace, and (iii) a home-based self-managed exercise program. The main outcome was recurrence of LBP with sick-leave at 24-months follow-up. At two-year follow-up, 35 workers (24%) in the intervention group and 31 workers (21%) in the control group had at least one LBP recurrence with sick leave. No effect was observed between groups [odds ratio (OR) 1.22, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.67-2.23, P=0.516]. The intervention was effective in reducing fear avoidance with a mean reduction of -3.6 (95% CI -4.8- -2.4) points on the fear-avoidance beliefs questionnaire score for physical activity (FABQ-P) in the intervention group compared with -1.3 (95% CI -2.2- -0.3) points in the control group (P
La lombalgie est une pathologie commune et récurrente, mais il y a peu de données scientifiques sur les stratégies efficaces pour prévenir la récidive et l'incapacité dans le long terme. Cette étude étudiait les effets d'un programme léger d'exercices, initié en entreprise et poursuivi à la maison, pour réduire les récurrences des épisodes de lombalgies chez les professionnels de santé.
