The investigation includes adult patients with chronic, non-tumor-pain (head, back and joint pain), who attend an out-patient interdisciplinary multimodal pain therapy of the USC Dresden. Prerequisites for treatment are a chronic pain syndrome, the lack of success using uni-modal therapy approaches and associated psychosocial or pain-related impairment in daily life. In spite of this, a sufficient physical performance for the treatment must be given.
Exclusion criteria are cancer-related pain, an age under 18 years, acute organic findings (e.g. serious cardiac disease), severe psychiatric comorbid diseases (psychotic disorders, personality disorders, current trauma, acute suicide risk) or specific social constraints (distance from the clinic, in some circumstances ongoing pension procedures).
