BACKGROUND: Recent evidence shows that multidisciplinary treatment is effective in @entity1118 , especially in @entity2794 . AIM: The aim of this review is to summarize current knowledge on integrative care concepts in @entity10 @entity1 regarding the optimal and necessary treatment parts, optimal duration and setting. METHODS: We present a narrative review reporting current literature and personal experience. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Based on current knowledge, multidisciplinary treatment programs appear to be reasonable and efficient in @entity2794 . Sufficient controlled studies regarding the need for individual parts of the integrative care approach are missing as yet. Recommendations are therefore at least partly based on personal experiences. It seems to be unambiguous that @entity1 should be referred to a specialized @entity10 center offering such a program instead of being sent sequentially to various medical specialists. The extent and kind of required therapy (e.g. personal consultation versus group sessions) is not known yet. All @entity1 should learn relaxation training, although it is unclear yet which training is the best for which @entity1 . Physiotherapy with guidance on more activity and individual exercises should be used in all @entity1 . Some @entity1 might benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy. However, therapies often depend more on country-specific health care systems than on clinical needs or scientific data.
