Biopsychosocial interventions including Cognitive Functional Therapy (CFT) are effective for reducing chronic low back pain (LBP) and associated disability; however, it is unclear if they are effective at reducing or preventing new opioid use. The aim of this study was to investigate whether CFT with or without biofeedback changed the amount of opioid dispensed over 12\u2010months compared to usual care in people with chronic, non\u2010specific LBP.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This study is a secondary analysis of the RESTORE trial (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009492) which randomly allocated participants with chronic LBP to one of three groups (CFT only, CFT\u2010plus\u2010biofeedback; usual care).

Clinical improvements in pain and disability following a biopsychosocial intervention do not necessarily lead to a reduction in opioids dispensed.
