![]() To explore such an alternative rehabilitation option, a Physiotherapy Pain Rehabilitation Program, PT-PRP, was launched in 2011 at a specialized pain rehabilitation unit in southern Sweden. Consequently, there is a necessity to explore alternative rehabilitation options for sub-groups of patients with CMP, preferably in a treatment-window before interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation thus demanding less resources. Also, evolving research data suggests that to optimize rehabilitation in patients with CMP, treatments and exercises should also be tailored to the pain mechanisms in combination with somatic, psychosocial, cognitive, motivational and behavioral factors. In recent years, individual care regimes for sub-groups of patients with chronic pain have been proposed, stressing that patients’ specific needs, preferences and abilities should be considered, and patient-centred care are proposed to be a cornerstone for best care for patients with musculoskeletal pain. Additionally, and in line with studies for acute/subacute musculoskeletal pain, outcomes vary. Studies on team pain rehabilitation point out that the type of interventions used vary, and are seldom described in detail. Such interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation has been described as time- and resource demanding both for the individual patient as well as for the healthcare system. ![]() Such combined interventions are often delivered to groups of patients by teams of health-care professionals making complementary contributions to improve the outcome, are delivered in specialized hospital units over a lengthy period of time, with the aim to increase the patients’ quality of life and ability to conduct a normal life through adequate pain management. ![]() For CMP, physical and psychological combined interventions are recommended to be performed within a cognitive behavioral framework. Treatment for early (acute/subacute) musculoskeletal pain is often delivered in primary care according to clinical guidelines – as for example in the treatment of low back- or neck pain – with the aim to remove or decrease the pain, although with varying treatment-outcomes. Moreover, CMP is known to limit the individual’s engagement in activities and societal participation, leading to a complex health situation both for the patient and the society, and a small number of these patients make repetitive visits to health care providers. Patients with CMP often report fatigue, depression and anxiety, as well as socio-economic consequences of their pain-condition. CMP includes conditions that affects joints, bones, muscles, tendons or multiple body areas and/or components (such as regional or widespread pain) and limits mobility, function and participation.
