Figure 22 Costeffective index by treatment modalities MPC multidisciplinary pain center Modified from Turk and Okifuji 1998
The cost-effectiveness index score of MPCs treatment far exceeds medical and surgical treatment. In fact, based on the index scores, multidisciplinary treatment can be considered nine times as cost-effective as conservative treatment and three to six times as cost-effective as surgical treatment in helping patients return to work.
Flor et al. concluded that "overall MPCs are efficacious. Even at long-term period, patients who are treated in such a setting are functioning better than 75% of a sample that is either untreated or that has been treated by conventional unimodal treatment approach."
