Complex interventions, like interdisciplinary multimodal pain therapy, need effectiveness models to show why they work. This study introduces methods for building these models, using a project on preventing chronic pain.
Area of Science:
- Methodology of complex interventions
- Effectiveness research
Context:
- Complex interventions require context-specific evaluation.
- Interdisciplinary multimodal pain therapy is a complex intervention.
Purpose:
- Introduce methodological approaches for effectiveness research on complex interventions.
- Describe an effectiveness model for interdisciplinary multimodal pain therapy for chronic pain prevention.
Summary:
- Effectiveness models formulate verifiable assumptions on how interventions produce changes.
- The PAIN 2.0 project serves as a case study for developing such a model.
- Focuses on outpatient settings for chronic pain prevention.
Impact:
- Provides a framework for evaluating complex interventions.
- Aims to improve the understanding and application of interdisciplinary multimodal pain therapy.
- Contributes to the prevention of chronic pain.
