NCT ID NCT07331766

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new way of managing chronic pain by improving teamwork between pain clinics, GPs, and other services. About 386 adults referred to pain clinics in Norway will either get this new pathway or standard care. The goal is to see if better coordination and a clear 6-month plan helps patients feel better and function more in daily life.
