Functional restoration programmes
A Functional Restoration Program (FRP) is a type of rehabilitation program that focuses on helping individuals with chronic pain to return to their normal activities and improve their overall function. The program typically includes a combination of physical therapy, occupational therapy, psychological counselling, and pain management techniques. The goal of an FRP is to help individuals with chronic pain to regain their independence and improve their quality of life.
Research has shown that Functional Restoration Programs (FRPs) can be effective for managing chronic pain.
One study published in the Journal of Pain found that individuals with chronic low back pain who participated in an FRP had significant improvements in pain, disability, and overall function compared to those who received usual care. Another study published in the Journal of Occupational Rehabilitation found that individuals with chronic pain who participated in an FRP had significant improvements in pain, physical function, and return to work.
A systematic review published in the Journal of Occupational Rehabilitation also found that FRPs were effective in reducing pain and improving function, work status, and quality of life in individuals with chronic pain.
It's worth noting that while FRPs have shown to be effective, they are not suitable for everyone and the outcomes may vary. It's also important to consider that these programs can be resource-intensive and may not be widely available. Consultation with a physician or physical therapist is necessary to determine if an FRP is a good option for managing your chronic pain.
