Abstract/OtherAbstract:
This study reports on the effectiveness of an individualized shaping treatment program for sitting and standing intolerance in a patient with chronic low back pain following a laminectomy for removal of an intradural tumor. Functional assessment of sitting and standing tolerance, observation of pain behaviors, and a self-report measure regarding the pain experience were carried out during baseline, treatment, posttreatment, and at a 6-month follow-up. By the end of the 6-week inpatient treatment, the patient was able to stand still for 25 min and to sit for 15 min. The overall pain behavior diminished significantly. These findings underscore the importance of relatively simple and cost-effective individualized behavioral programs for chronic pain patients.
