Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to examine if repetitive computerized cognitive training improves working memory in patients who are on sick leave due to complex symptom disorders (chronic pain, chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression and or sleep disorders), and whether effects of cognitive control training transfer to other tasks.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Cogmed

Participants in a 3,5 week vocational rehabilitation program (containing cognitive therapy and physical exercise) are instructed to use a computer-based working memory training program (named CogMed) each weekday (5 days a week) for 5 weeks. Each training session consists of 8 different tasks and lasts 40-50 minutes.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Cogmed working memory training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Control group

These subjects will participate in the vocational rehabilitation program for 3,5 weeks. The program includes cognitive therapy (ACT) and physical activity, but no working memory training.
