Retention in Physically Demanding Jobs With Low Back Pain: A Randomised Controlled Trial (GoBack) (GoBack)
Low back pain (LBP) is a recognized public health problem with high life time prevalence. Medical treatment may reduce the physical and mental discomfort, while it has not been able to improve the possibilities for retaining or return patients with LBP to work.
This is an occupational intervention study for patients with LBP and physically demanding work, who are at risk of drop out of labour; a randomized controlled trial designed to test the effectiveness of an early intervention for retaining subjects with LBP attached to the labour marked. A work place modification intervention combined with moderate physical activity is given in the intervention group additional to LBP treatments according to best practice recommendations for general practice.
The study population consists of patients in self-reported physically demanding, who are sick listed or at risk of sick leave due to LBP. Outcome will continually be collected during the intervention as well as 6 and additionally at 12 months follow up.
The primary aim is to evaluate if an occupational intervention with focus on early workplace orientated counselling and work place intervention can retain subjects with physically demanding work and LBP in gainful employment to prevent/reduce the sick leave due to LBP.
The secondary aims are to identify prognostic factors of an occupational intervention using the baseline and follow-up participant-rated outcomes: pain, physically function, generic health status, fear avoidance behaviours, job satisfaction, work-ability, satisfaction with intervention, clinical examination and MRI findings. Among these variables, we also aim to identify subjects, who will benefit from such an occupational intervention, and the subjects, who already have a good prognosis and therefore have no need for a larger scale intervention.

Changes in pain level
Prazo: 6 months
|
Pain will be evaluated by using the 13 items Pain-Detect questionnaire, which includes measurements of LBP on an ordinal, 11-point numerical rating scale (NRS: 0 = no LBP; 10 = worst LBP possible).

|
Changes in Fear Avoidance Beliefs scores
Prazo: 6 months
|
Both Fear Avoidance Beliefs Work Subscale and Physical Activity subscale (questionnaires) will be measured.

Change in Disability
Prazo: 6 months
|
The 24-item Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire will measure participant-rated LBP disability.
