Overview
Brief Summary
The aim is to evaluate a novel treatment routine where contact through a smart phone/computer is used for online support for patients suffering from chronic widespread pain (CWP). The outline is that patients are encouraged to perform physical activity during a period of 12 months with online support from a physical therapist.
Detailed Description
The intervention follows principles from the theories of person-centered care and self-efficacy. The examinations performed at baseline and after six months were conducted by blinded examiners at a visit at the primary health care centers. All participants developed a person-centered health plan for physical activity together with a physiotherapist. The intervention group was supported with a digital platform for six months.
