Research projects
-
Applying Artificial Intelligence in Developing Personalized and Sustainable Healthcare for Spinal Disorders (AID-Spine, part I)
We use machine learning methods to develop and validate prediction models for health and welfare outcomes after treatment for spinal disorders.
-
Can Motivational Interviewing facilitate return to work in sicklisted people with musculoskeletal disorders? (MI-NAV)
We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Motivational Interviewing on return to work among sicklisted people due to musculoskeletal disorders.
-
Co-occurrent pain and psychological distress: From adolescence to adulthood
The project will provide new insight into the long-term consequences of early onset co-occurrent pain and psychological distress.
-
HEYoung intervention study
The project will co-develop an intervention with end-users and conduct the initial stages of a full-scale RCT on the effectiveness of a person-centered intervention for adolescents with persistent pain.
-
Improving personalized treatment in health care for lower spine disorders
The aim of the study is to deepen the understanding of how patients with lower spine disorders, general practitioners (GPs), physiotherapists and hospital doctors make decisions about treatment.
-
Promoting and inhibiting factors for education and employment among young adults receiving welfare benefits or health services due to persistent pain and psychological distress
Persistent pain and psychological distress in young adults can negatively impact participation in education and employment, leading to significant consequences.
-
The Back Complaints in the Elders, Norway (BACE-N)
Part of the Back Complaints in the Elders consortium, established to create standardised methodology for large cohort studies on the burden of back pain in the elderly.
