Immediate and delayed practice groups were analyzed individually compared to the control group, and as a combination group.
When data for the immediate and delayed practice groups were combined, the significant reductions in pain reported at the end of the eight-week training/practice interval (P < 0.001) were sustained in the longer term to four months (P < 0.001) and six months (P = 0.003).
However, because of the delays in practices receiving information about spread, only 61% managed to collect both the baseline and a full 12 months (see Table 1).
To minimise the time delay between practices agreeing to participate and the commencement of the training programme for practice nurses and the implementation of the intervention for experimental clusters and patients therein, practices will be randomised in blocks of clusters when all patient participants in the block of clusters have been recruited.
