Background:

Chronic pain affects millions, necessitating effective, long-term treatment strategies.
Interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation programs (IPRPs) offer comprehensive care for chronic pain.
Limited data exists on the long-term durability of IPRP outcomes across diverse patient groups.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the long-term effectiveness and durability of a 10-week outpatient interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation program (IPRP).

Main Methods:

398 adults with chronic pain participated in a 10-week outpatient IPRP (physical therapy, occupational therapy, pain psychology, medical management).
Outcomes including pain intensity, interference, mood, anxiety, physical functioning, and pain catastrophizing were assessed at intake, discharge, and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post-treatment.

Main Results:

Significant improvements in all measured outcomes were observed from intake to discharge.
While some decline in treatment gains occurred over time, all measures remained significantly improved at 12 months compared to baseline.
Participant retention for follow-up surveys varied, with 15.6% completing 12-month assessments.

Conclusions:

A 10-week IPRP model effectively improves pain and functioning in patients with heterogeneous chronic pain conditions.
The program provides durable benefits, supporting its role as a valuable intervention for chronic pain management.
Findings contribute to the evidence base for IPRPs in community rehabilitation settings.
