Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an individually tailored self-management intervention, the selfBACK app, in improving health status in patients on a waiting list for outpatient rehabilitation due to low back and/or neck pain compared to a non-tailored web-based self-management solution (e-Help) and usual care only.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

SelfBACK app

The selfBACK is an evidence-based and data-driven decision support system (DSS) to support self-management of low back and neck pain delivered via a smartphone app. The selfBACK app provides individually tailored self-management plans to participants on a weekly basis by matching the participant's health information with targeted educational messages, physical activity advices and exercise recommendations via the DSS.

OTHER

e-Help webpage

The e-Help is an evidence-based web-based resource to support self-management of low back and neck pain. The e-Help webpage provides evidence-based self-management content equivalent to the selfBACK including educational messages, physical activity and exercise recommendations. Instructions on how to compose exercise programs will be given to participants, however no tailored self-management support will be offered in this solution.

OTHER

Usual care

Usual care refers to seeking care or receiving treatments or help as usual.
