Summary

Individual Placement and support (IPS) is an evidence-based approach originally developed to help people with severe mental disorders to obtain and maintain employment. The effectiveness of IPS for patients with severe mental illness is well documented, but has never previously been tested for patients with chronic pain. In fact, employment support is rarely provided in pain clinics, despite an increasing focus on integrating work and health in all patient treatment (OECD, 2013). The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of IPS as an integrated part of the interdisciplinary treatment for patients with chronic pain in a hospital outpatient clinic.
