A Person-Centered Prehabilitation Program Based on Cognitive-Behavioral Physical Therapy for Patients Scheduled for Lumbar Fusion Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

A positive trend of change was noted 1 week prior to surgery for the outcomes pain intensity (ES = 0.21; 95% CI = −0.18 to 0.59), pain catastrophizing (ES = 0.29; 95% CI = −0.11 to 0.69), fear of movement (ES = 0.30; 95% CI = −0.10 to 0.70), depressive signs (ES = 0.25; 95% CI = −0.14 to 0.65), and patient-specific functioning (ES = 0.23; 95% CI = −0.19 to 0.65) in favor of the intervention group (Tab. 2 ); however, ESs were small.
