Brief Summary

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

This study examined 125 working-age patients from the Turku Outpatient Clinic for Functional and Fatigue Disorders. "Patients participate in the clinic's biopsychosocial, multidisciplinary, and individually tailored rehabilitation. The aim of the rehabilitation is to improve patients' functional capacity and provide them with tools to manage and cope with their symptoms. In addition, the goal is to break the cycle of unnecessary examinations that cause harm to the patient. Socioeconomic data, as well as information related to functional capacity, symptoms, and quality of life, are collected from patients at the start of rehabilitation and again at six and twelve months after the beginning of rehabilitation. In addition, data on patients' use of social and health care services are requested from registers for the year preceding the start of rehabilitation and for the year following rehabilitation.

Study Groups

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

Patients suffering persistent symptoms

The clinic's staff included a pilot project coordinator, a physician, an occupational therapist, a physiotherapist, a psychologist, a rehabilitation counselor, and a ward secretary. At the physician's initial visit, stress system sensitization, burden factors, and need for symptomatic medication were assessed. In a joint rehabilitation team meeting, the patient met a psychologist, occupational therapist, physiotherapist, and rehabilitation counselor, who conducted a multidisciplinary evaluation and created an individualized rehabilitation plan. Patients then attended a course for persistent bodily symptoms, with some joining a psychophysical breathing group. Individual rehabilitation or counseling was provided according to each patient's needs.
