Can a booster session boost chronic pain relief?
NCT ID NCT06084390
First seen Aug 20, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial investigates whether adding a booster session and extended access to the rehabilitation team after standard interdisciplinary care can improve outcomes for people with chronic pain. Two hundred participants in Swedish primary healthcare will be randomly assigned to either standard rehabilitation alone or standard care plus the extra support. The study measures pain intensity, health-related quality of life, and other health aspects to see if the added support makes a difference.
