| Abstract: | Background A model for integrative medicine (IM) adapted to Swedish primary care was previously developed. The aim of this study was
to explore the feasibility of a pragmatic randomised clinical trial to investigate the effectiveness of the IM model versus
conventional primary care in the management of patients with non-specific back/neck pain. Specific objectives included the
exploration of recruitment and retention rates, patient and care characteristics, clinical differences and effect sizes between
groups, selected outcome measures and power calculations to inform the basis of a full-scale trial. |
