Studies

At NCFRP, we understand that finding the right Functional Restoration Program for your patient is a challenge. The MTUS/Chronic Pain Medical Treatment Guidelines recommends a Chronic Pain Program where there is access to programs with proven successful outcomes, for patients with conditions that put them at risk for delayed recovery. (MTUS, Page 30)

Our more than 13 years of experience in Functional Restoration treatment has allowed us to conduct a study over hundreds of patients to measure a variety of significant outcomes.


Patients completing the Northern California Functional Restoration Program (NCFRP) evidence clinically-significant improvement across multiple dimensions of functionality, reduction of pain, opioid use, and psychosocial/psychological functioning. For NCFRP participants that sought employment post-program, a significantly high percentage of them were successful.”
