Summary

The study's primary objective is to test the hypothesis that a group-based health promotion intervention with patient education and practical exercises delivered at a Healthy Life Centre increases patient activation in people living with chronic pain. Due to many people living with chronic pain, interventions focusing on self-management and coping are on the agenda in primary care. This study will investigate whether a Healthy Life Centre in a municipality is a suitable setting for interventions targeting people living with chronic pain. Short and long term effect of an intervention developed in a health promotion and salutogenic framework will be investigated in a randomized clinical trial.
