Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether group based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) at a university hospital clinic is superior to treatment in a primary care setting among patients with chronic pain.

Hypothesis:

i) A group based ACT treatment leads to less pain and greater Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) in patients with chronic pain than treatment in a primary care setting.

ii) The improvement in pain and HRQOL is mediated through an increased degree of pain willingness and involvement in activities.

iii) Improvement of pain and HRQOL after the two treatments is associated with demographic, psychosocial and somatic characteristics.
