However, exploration of the treatment process from the patients\u2019 perspectives, including the process of gaining control and agency over CLBP, is relatively understudied in this patient population. This qualitative study explored the experiences of eight participants from the RESTORE trial through longitudinally following their experiences, including interviews during baseline, mid-treatment, end-treatment, and 12-month follow-up. Data were analyzed according to a narrative approach. Findings described the overarching narrative themes of \u201cThe Journey to Self-Management.\u201d Within this overarching narrative, four distinct narratives were identified, beginning with \u201cLeft High and Dry,\u201d capturing the experience of isolation and abandonment with CLBP before commencing CFT, and concluding with three narratives of the experience of CFT from the start of treatment through to the 12-month follow-up. These included \u201cPlain, Smooth Sailing,\u201d describing a journey of relative ease and lack of obstacles; \u201cLearning the Ropes and Gaining Sea Legs,\u201d capturing an iterative process of learning and negotiating setbacks; and \u201cSailing Through Headwinds,\u201d describing the experience of struggle to gain agency and control over CLBP through CFT. Clinicians treating individuals with CLBP can use these insights to more effectively facilitate self-management, and people living with CLBP may find resonance from the narrative themes to support their journeys.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/10497323241268777","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,10]],"date-time":"2024-09-10T09:36:34Z","timestamp":1725960994000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A Prospective Qualitative Inquiry of Patient Experiences of Cognitive Functional Therapy for Chronic Low Back Pain During the RESTORE Trial"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4414-2719","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nardia-Rose","family":"Klem","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Allied Health, Faculty of Health Sciences, Curtin University, Perth, WA, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"O\u2019Sullivan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Allied Health, Faculty of Health Sciences, Curtin University, Perth, WA, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anne","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Allied Health, Faculty of Health Sciences, Curtin University, Perth, WA, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robert","family":"Sch\u00fctze","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Allied Health, Faculty of Health Sciences, Curtin University, Perth, WA, Australia"},{"name":"Royal Perth Hospital Multidisciplinary Pain Management Centre, Perth, WA, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-10497323241268777","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12874-022-01732-4"},{"key":"bibr57-10497323241268777","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1049732303255999"},{"key":"bibr2-10497323241268777","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4135\/9781529716665"},{"key":"bibr3-10497323241268777","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/j.pain.0000000000001869"},{"key":"bibr4-10497323241268777","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(18)30488-4"},{"key":"bibr5-10497323241268777","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2522\/ptj.20140570"},{"key":"bibr6-10497323241268777","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/AJP.0b013e31827a6dd8"},{"key":"bibr7-10497323241268777","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1748-5908-7-37"},{"key":"bibr8-10497323241268777","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/09638288.2023.2221459"},{"key":"bibr9-10497323241268777","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.brat.2019.02.007"},{"key":"bibr10-10497323241268777","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2519\/jospt.2017.7371"},{"key":"bibr11-10497323241268777","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e071757","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj-2022-071757","volume":"382","author":"Cashin A.
