Chronic Pain
Conditions
Brief summary
In this observational study the effects of a Lifestyle Modification Program - offered as a semi-residential day care clinic - on pain, disability, quality of life and satisfaction with life will be investigated. Furthermore the influence of mindfulness, acceptance and coping, and acquired changes in lifestyle behaviors on the outcome after the program will be evaluated. Effects will be measured after completion of the program (3 months), and at 6 and 12 months follow up after start of the program, i.e. each outcome measure will be taken 4 times within 12 months.
