First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a Norwegian clinic (NSAC) helps people with common mental health issues or muscle pain return to work sooner. 2500 adults are split into three groups: one gets treatment quickly, one waits 10-14 weeks, and one gets a basic check-up. Researchers will track employment and health for up to 10 years to see if the clinic makes a difference.
