What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of eVISualisation (eVIS) in helping patients with chronic pain increase and maintain their physical activity levels. The study will recruit around 400 participants from various Interdisciplinary Pain Rehabilitation Programs (IPRPs) across Sweden, who will be randomly assigned to receive the eVIS intervention. The trial will focus on assessing the methodology, outcome measures, and processes involved in this registry-based randomized controlled trial. The goal is to improve patient outcomes by providing a novel approach to managing chronic pain through enhanced physical activity.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18-67 with chronic pain lasting more than three months that significantly affects their daily activities.
Not a fit: Patients who require walking aids indoors or have pain due to systemic diseases or malignancies may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could significantly improve the ability of chronic pain patients to engage in physical activity, leading to better pain management and overall quality of life.
How similar studies have performed: While the approach of using eVIS for chronic pain management is innovative, similar interdisciplinary methods have shown promise in improving patient outcomes in past studies.
