"EFFECT-BACK" study

What is EFFECT-BACK?

EFFECT-BACK is a therapy study with the aim of improving the treatment offered to patients with chronic back pain. The study will compare two effective therapies for the treatment of chronic back pain: cognitive behavioral therapy and exposure therapy. The goal of both therapies is to help patients learn strategies to cope with excruciating back pain, return to life activities, and improve well-being and quality of life.

How does the study work?

Participants are randomly assigned to one of the two treatment modalities. Treatment consists of 18 appointments (including 10 therapy sessions + 2 booster sessions), usually once a week. Study participation is free of charge. Regular completion of questionnaires after the sessions is a prerequisite for participation in the study.

For whom is EFFECT-BACK suitable?

Our offer is aimed at people over the age of 18 who have suffered from back pain for at least six months and are thus impaired in their daily lives.

Are you interested?

Interested parties can apply by e-mail ateffectback.ANAE(at)med.uni-heidelberg.deor by phone at 06221 56310064. In an initial non-binding telephone conversation, questions can then be clarified and the basic suitability for participation can be checked.

Where does the treatment take place?

Treatment takes place at the Institute of Medical Psychology, Bergheimer Straße 20, 69115 Heidelberg , or at the Pain Center of the Clinic for Anesthesiology, Im Neuenheimer Feld 131, 69120 Heidelberg.

Schwan-Study

Stress, Well-being and family relationships in the transition to parenthood during the COVID-19 pandemic and its influences on infant development

Pregnancy and the first time with a baby are often a period of life accompanied by feelings of happiness. However, this time can also bring many challenges. Special circumstances such as the COVID-19 pandemic, can be additional stressors in the transition to parenthood and affect the psychological well-being of young families.

Aim and process of the study

The SCHWAN study examines how the subjective experience of stress and the physical stress response (assessed via saliva samples) in the transition to parenthood affect the couple and parent-child relationship as well as child development. The study includes four appointments from pregnancy through the end of the child's first year of life. You will participate in the first two appointments online from home. When your child is 9 or 12 months old, we will invite you and your child to visit us at the Institute of Medical Psychology.

Interested in participating?

•     You are at least 18 years old
•     You are at least 26 weeks pregnant and are not expecting multiples
•     You are fluent in German
•     The participation of your partner (online questionnaire) is desired, but not required.

If you are interested or have any questions, please contact us by e-mail:
