Brief summary (from the registry)
The overall aim of the present study is to evaluate an internet-delivered Acceptance and Commitment therapy treatment (iACT) for patients with chronic pain. More specifically, the study will evaluate if 1) iACT is effective in improving functioning and quality of life in comparison to a waitlist condition, 2) if iACT is cost-effective, 3) factors that influence treatment outcome (i.e. predictors, moderators or characteristics of treatment responders), 4) if psychological variables mediates the effects of treatment on outcome, and 5) if subgroups of patients varies in change processes (i.e. moderated mediation). The main hypothesis is that iACT will improve functioning and quality of life.
