Brief Summary

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

This cluster randomized waiting-list controlled study will evaluate the effectiveness of pain management group activity organized by the OH on pain intensity and associated disability, and co-occurrence of mental or sleep problem in patients with chronic pain.

Detailed Description

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

Pain is very prevalent among the working population causing a considerable amount of work disability days. Pain management group therapy has shown to have a significant effect on chronic pain. However, little is known of the effect of such therapy on work disability. There are especially very few studies prescribing the effectiveness of pain management groups provided by the occupational health service.
