Patients with chronic pain and comorbid [[obesity]] achieved sustained Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) improvements from Interdisciplinary Multimodal Pain Rehabilitation (IMMPR). This finding suggests that rehabilitation professionals should consider using IMMPR for patients with comorbid obesity even though their improvement may not reach the same level as for non-obese patients

The identification of an individualized treatment plan, astute surgical technique, comprehensive and multimodal analgesia and adequate rehabilitation processes do not necessarily result in diminished pain.
