Brief summary (from the registry)
About 20-30% of the Danish population suffers from chronic non-malignant pain. Current evidence suggests that a bio-psychosocial treatment delivered by multidisciplinary teams is the most effective treatment of chronic non-malignant pain. However, the evidence is still missing on the optimal multimodal treatment combination as well as the additional effect of specific treatment modalities. A lifestyle-focused intervention is considered to be a relevant supplement to the multidisciplinary treatment of chronic non-malignant pain. Occupational therapy (OT) has previously demonstrated effectiveness in changing the lifestyle of adults through a holistic, systems-based approach. To our knowledge, the method has not previously been approved as a part of the multidisciplinary treatment of adults with chronic non-malignant pain. The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of the lifestyle-oriented OT intervention added to the current treatment for adults with chronic non-malignant pain, to inform the design and conduct of the future RCT.
