Article Synopsis
- The study was a randomized, controlled pilot experiment to assess the feasibility of early intervention for chronic low back pain (CLBP) patients regarding return to work and sick leave reduction.
- The background highlights a lack of evaluation on CLBP interventions in Norway, as many people suffer from work absences due to back pain, and there's no agreement on measuring return to work (RTW).
- Results indicated that while early intervention did not significantly impact sick leave compared to a waiting list, a larger sample size is needed for a full study, with necessary improvements in intervention design and RTW definitions.
