Summary

This study tests whether a workplace program that teaches employees and managers about pain and how to communicate about it can reduce pain-related sick leave. The program includes a digital education session and a workplace needs assessment. Researchers will track sick days, pain levels, and health knowledge in about 193 employees from production workplaces.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Cognitive behavioural therapy-inspired digital education on pain and communication
What this could lead to
If it works, this program could offer a practical, low-cost way for workplaces to reduce pain-related sick leave and help employees better manage pain.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small study in specific workplaces, so results may not apply to all settings. The program relies on voluntary participation and workplace champions, which may limit its effectiveness.
