BACKGROUND: @entity308 and @entity148 are common after @entity64 . There is inconclusive evidence of the benefit of psychotherapy for @entity308 and @entity148 . Here, we used a brief intervention, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) brief therapy plus health education, to evaluate the changes in @entity1 with @entity385 . METHODS: One hundred eighty @entity1 were randomly allocated to receive 4 sessions of NLP plus health education (n  =  90) or usual care (n  =  90). A set of questionnaires was used preintervention and postintervention as well as at the 6-month follow-up. The primary outcomes were the prevalence of @entity308 and @entity148 , and the awareness of @entity64 knowledge. RESULTS: More @entity1 in the intervention group achieved remission of @entity308 (odds ratio [OR], 2.81; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.41-5.59) and @entity1109 (OR, 2.19; 95% CI, 1.15-4.18) after intervention. At the 6-month follow-up, we found no differences between groups in both the prevalence of @entity308 and @entity148 . After intervention, the intervention group had better awareness rates on most of the @entity64 knowledge items (P  <  .05). It also had better quality of life and physical function both after intervention and at the follow-up (P  <  .05). CONCLUSIONS: NLP plus health education could reduce @entity308 and @entity148 immediately after intervention, but not at the 6-month follow-up. The intervention could also improve the awareness of @entity64 knowledge and benefit @entity1 on quality of life and physical function.
