Popis: | Objective To determine the effectiveness of a person-centred intervention, including advice on physical activity, for improving pain intensity, physical activity, and other health-related outcomes in persons with chronic widespread pain , when delivered with digital eHealth support compared with standard telephone follow-up. Design Randomized controlled trial. Subjects Individuals with chronic widespread pain (n = 139), aged 20-65 years, who had previously participated in a pain educational programme at primary healthcare units, were contacted during the period 2018-19 and randomized to an intervention group (n = 69) or an active control group (n = 70). Methods Together with a physiotherapist, participants in both groups developed person-centred health plans for physical activity. The intervention group was supported via a digital platform for 6 months. The active control group received support via one follow-up phone call. Primary outcome was pain intensity. Secondary outcomes were physical activity and other health-related outcomes. Results No significant differences were found between the groups after 6 months, except for a significant decrease in global fatigue in the active control group compared with the intervention group. Conclusion Future development of interventions supporting persons with chronic pain to maintain regular exercise is warranted. |
