About the Project
U of Sydney Project:
The project aims to test whether a combination of aerobic activity and CBT-I (SLEEPFIT) is more effective in treating chronic musculoskeletal (MSK) pain and improving clinical outcomes like quality of life and sleep, compared to either treatment alone. It also seeks to explore neuroimmune pathways that may mediate these effects. Additionally, the project will assess implementation and process measures to support the translation of its findings into practice.
PMC Trial Summary:
This project aims to improve the management of persons with chronic MSK pain in the MHS by comparing the effectiveness of Empowered Relief (ER) and Move to Health (M2H) as first-line pain management strategies within the study cohort and among specific subgroups. This project will also compare the effectiveness of providing ER first, followed by M2H for persons who do not respond sufficiently to ER as a first-line strategy.
