Sponsor's own description
Overall project aim: to develop, evaluate, and implement a digital behavioural health treatment to improve well-being in individuals with chronic pain. The treatment will be integrated into the nationally available 1177 web-platform, which will facilitate long-term use in clinical practice across Sweden. Within the project, the investigators will develop the digital treatment and match it to patients' needs using focus groups; pilot the treatment to evaluate its feasibility and acceptability, preliminary efficacy, and individual change processes using the single case experimental design (SCED) method; conduct a two-armed randomized controlled trial enhanced with SCED to assess the clinical effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and maintenance of change of the treatment compared to treatment as usual; and monitor the implementation process of the treatment through a business model and stakeholder interviews.
