First seen Apr 30, 2026 · Last updated May 06, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study looks at whether the Norwegian Sickness Absence Clinic (NSAC) helps people with common mental health issues or muscle pain return to work faster. About 2500 adults will be split into three groups: one gets treatment within 4 weeks, another after 10-14 weeks, and a third gets a basic exam after a longer wait. The goal is to see if the clinic's approach is better than usual care for getting people back to their jobs.
