Detailed Description

Pain affects quality of life and it's important for the individual who experience chronic pain to find strategies to prevent or reduce pain. In some situations pain can't be reduced and the individual has to master pain by learning to live with it. Pain can lead to a loss of functions which may change one's roles both in relation to the family as to colleagues, for example sick leave from work.

Limited evidence is available on the effects of interventions to sick-listed citizens with chronic musculoskeletal pain.

This study test the effect of either "tailored physical activity or "Chronic Pain Self-management Program" on returning to work and the parameters pain, function and quality of life respectively on the body function and participation level of sick-listed people with chronic musculoskeletal pain related to columna and the upper body.

Citizens in DK-Sønderborg Municipality sick-listed for a maximum of 9 weeks will be invited. Participants will be randomized for either tailored physical activity, "Chronic Pain Self-Management Program" or reference group.

Primary endpoint is 3 months and 12 months follow-up.
