Introduction
In May 2012, a multimodal treatment program for people with chronic pain was introduced at our hospital. Approximately 800 patients with back pain, headaches and musculoskeletal pain had completed the therapy.
The multimodal pain therapy is a group therapy (8 - 10 people) and lasts four weeks. The therapy takes place on a daily basis and also includes so-called refresher days and refresher weeks.
The success of the therapy is evaluated on an ongoing basis and the interest in the before-and-after changes in the following areas applies:
 Pain perception, pain experience, impairment of pain, quality of life, anxiety and depression, psychopathology / depression, patient satisfaction.

Currently, we are interested in patients who have completed their therapy in the first three years (2012 - 2015).

Methods
All 380 patients who participated in the Multimodal Therapy for the first 3 years received a questionnaire which records all of the variables mentioned above (treatment discontinuation was not reported). 
Patients were contacted by the Multimodal Pain Management Secretariat by telephone to maintain a high frequency of recurrence.
Start of the survey was in early March 2018, the emissions were made at weekly intervals.

Results
- response rate 44% (167 out of 380)
- 60% of patients report that their health has improved significantly or significantly since therapy
- 93% are satisfied with the therapy to very satisfied
- 60% are still working 
- A significant reduction in pain can be seen
- The subjective quality of life is significantly increased
