ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is exploring how physiotherapists understand and approach physical activity in managing chronic pain, specifically for cancer survivors and individuals with chronic low back pain. The goal is to better understand what physiotherapists know about chronic pain, their beliefs about physical activity, and the decisions they make in treating patients. The study will also examine if an online learning program can improve their knowledge and treatment strategies.
To participate, you need to be a physiotherapist currently working in Belgium or the Netherlands, able to read and write in Dutch, and have experience with patients facing chronic pain. If you join, you'll complete a set of questionnaires online at the start of the study and again 30 days later after accessing the e-learning program. This research aims to help both physiotherapists and patients by improving the way chronic pain is managed through physical activity.
