IMPACT
An analysis of internationally recommended outcome measures (IMMPACT) in long-term pain/discomfort in the neck, shoulders and back.
The aim of the study is to evaluate and further develop internationally recommended outcome measures (IMMPACT) in clinical pain research for use in the evaluation of non-specific long-term musculoskeletal disorders in both men and women who are offered multimodal treatment in primary care and in rehabilitation.
The aim is also to investigate which of the IMMPACT outcome measures are most strongly associated with return to work/sick leave.
Data collection was completed in June 2015. Compilation of results (manuscript) and feedback in 2016. Due to difficulties in including study participants, the project has been extended to 2016.
