About this study

The aim is to evaluate effects of early individually tailored web-based multimodal rehabilitation for persons with musculoskeletal neck/shoulder and back disorders in primary health care. The aim is also to study if this early web-based pain rehabilitation program is more cost-effective than only multimodal rehabilitation. Randomization will be done at each primary health care centre after screening to 1) Multimodal pain rehabilitation with web-based education and coaching support or 2) multimodal pain rehabilitation. The investigators suggest a clear rehabilitation chain where a web-based program is developed,evaluated and ready to implement if it shows positive effects on work-ability and/or is cost-effective. The research and implementation will be performed in a close cooperation with Luleå University of Technology.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Web-based multimodal rehabilitation based on cognitive based principlesBehavioural

    The patient will be randomized to either the interventions group (multimodal pain rehabilitation with an added web-based multimodal rehabilitation with CBT-influences) or a control group (multimodal pain rehabilitation).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Work ability

    Measured: 4 month

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Pain rating

    Pain-rating is measured on a visual analog-scale

    Measured: 12 month

  2. Self-efficacy in relation to workability

    Self-efficacy in relation to work-ability is measured by a questionnarie

    Measured: 12 month

  3. General health

    General health is measured with SF-36 and EQ-5D.

    Measured: 12 month

  4. Functional status

    Functional status is measured with Pain disability index.

    Measured: 12 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Web-based multimodal rehabilitation based on cognitive based principles in people with Musculoskeletal Pain, run by Luleå Tekniska Universitet at 1 site in Sweden.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Sweden. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Work ability (time frame: 4 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01475591, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
