Hello mel,
an interesting point in regards to the first reference that you list was
that there was no differences found between the exercise and relaxion groups
in the Mcgill pain or the sf36 questionnaires. for me this makes me wonder
about the validity of their primary outcome measure. but it is nice to see
that both groups with this difficult condtiont seemed to improve.
