Brief Summary
Chronic pain is a globally prevalent condition that causes enormous social costs; largely due to sickness absence. A common intervention for patients with chronic pain problems is interdisciplinary treatment (IDT), which consists of a combination of physical exercise, cognitive behavioural therapy and work training coordinated in an interdisciplinary team. Based on data from Swedish National Registers, this study evaluates the effects of IDT on sickness absence.

Interventions
Interdisciplinary treatment (IDT) distinguishes itself as an interdisciplinary-coordinated (e.g., physician, occupational therapist, physiotherapist, and psychologist) intervention using a bio-psycho-social view of chronic pain. The MMR continues over a lengthy period with a common goal and generally includes patient education, supervised physical activity, simulated work training, and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). The exact composition of these MMR components depends on initial evaluations of the patients health status and furhter follow-up testing. The MMR interventional components can act independently and interdependently, resulting in combined effects due to known and unknown mechanisms; the effects are intended to be greater than the sum of its components.
