Brief Summary

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

Problems with stress and pain are common reasons for long-term sick-leave, and need preventive interventions. This RCT builds on a successful previous project (see reference section), where a program involving the work place, the individual and occupational health care resulted in decreased sick-leave and healthcare visits and a higher quality of life as compared to TAU for individuals with musculoskeletal pain. This study will replicate and evaluate the mechanisms behind the involvement from the work place. According to the transdiagnostic model, problems with stress and pain are maintained by similar processes. Consequently, the study will be extended to include both problems, and it will be explored how a refined version of the program affects sick leave and work ability in the employees.
