ReActivate: Physiotherapist Led Intervention for A Adolescents and Young Adults With Musculoskelatal Pain

Recurrent or persistent musculoskeletal pain is an alarmingly common problem among adolescents, in Sweden as well as globally. Pain often co-occur with and psychological distress and have both been shown to be predictors of sustained problems in adulthood. Adequate treatment early on in the development of problems has been shown important in order to decrease the risk of sustained problems in adulthood but available treatments have only modest effects. There is thus a need for treatment development, not in the least for (secondary) preventative purposes. The aim of this project is therefore to develop an evidence based and cost-effective secondary preventative intervention. Specifically, this project aims to develop and test a physiotherapist led treatment for adolescents with recurrent or persistent musculoskeletal pain and based upon graded exposure to physical activity and reactivation.
