Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Employees With Long lasting musculoskeletal pain problems, working in the Municipality of Bergen, will be invited to participate in an Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT), and randomized to either receive Norwegian Psychomotor Physiotherapy (NPMP) or a series of Cognitive Patient Education in combination with active individual physiotherapy (COPE-PT). The aim is to examine the effect of NPMP compared to those receiving COPE-PT on pain, function, quality of life and sick-leave.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Norwegian Psychomotor Physiotherapy
NPMP is a body-mind awareness approach, often given in a combination of massage, exercises and conversations. The NPMP is individualized, with duration of 45-60 minutes in each session. As the NPMP is a longitudinal and normally slow process to obtain change, treatment can last up till one year, in the beginning once a week, and after some time once a month.
Norwegian Psychomotor Physiotherapy
The recruited patients will after randomization receive either Norwegian Psychomotor Physiotherapy (NPMP) or COPE combined with active individual physiotherapy. In NPMP the treatment is individualized, targeting body-mind awareness through exercise, massage and therapeutic conversation
Cognitive Patient Education and PT
The comparison group will receive a combination of education about how to manage pain (COPE) followed by active individual physiotherapy.They will receive one session weekly with COPE, given by a physiotherapist, maximum 4 times, followed by active individual Physiotherapy (PT).
Cognitive Patient Education and PT
The comparison group will receive a combination of education about how to manage pain (COPE) followed by active individual physiotherapy.
