Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

CINS is a large multicentre study which aims to test out the effect of 4 different interventions, namely a brief cognitive intervention (BI), a more extensive cognitive behavioural intervention (CBT), and 2 different nutritional supplementations (seal oil and soy oil) in a population of chronic low back pain patients sicklisted for 2-10 months.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The treatment principles for low back pain, and also other types of non-specific muscle pain, have changed dramatically over the last 10 to 15 years; from traditional treatment like bed rest and inactivity to more active treatment strategies ("the back pain revolution"; Waddell et al 1997). Norwegian research has been in the forefront, particularly in demonstrating the clinical and cost effective brief interventions (BI) (Indahl et al., 1995, 1998; Hagen et al 2000, 2004, Brox et al 2003, Storheim et al 2003). However, about 30% of the patients do not recover or return to normal social and working life. The aim of this study is therefore to see if a longer cognitive behavioural intervention (CBT) has an additional benefit to BI, and to compare this with a potentially beneficial dietary supplement.
