Declarations
:
: Ethical approval for this randomized trial was granted by the Regional Ethical Review Board in Lund, Sweden (Dnr 2016/413, Dnr 2018/927).Treatment is based on established rehabilitation principles and integration of psychological training is provided by experienced physical therapists. Injury risk is therefore not viewed as being higher than in CaU. Participants are protected by the Swedish patient insurance policy (patientskadeförsäkring) in case of harm during the course of the study.Participants are provided oral and written information on the study and are encouraged to ask questions prior to being invited to take part in the study. An informed consent form (available as supplementary file 2) is given to participants either by their physical therapist or by the test leader and collected at the first testing occasion by the test leader. This includes information on confidentiality and privacy, including the removal of all identifiable characteristics (e.g., names). To ensure confidentiality, all information is securely stored separately from any identifying information, accessible only by the primary investigator, SC, and colleagues involved in data analysis. Data will be used only in the context of this study and the ancillary phenomenological interview study, during which separate and specific informed consent will be collected. No biological specimens will be collected. Concomitant care will not be allowed, which includes receiving treatment from PTs other than those included in the current study, as well as injury and/or surgical intervention that would render the participant ineligible in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria for this trial.Due to the adaptive design, changes to the trial may occur, in which case participating PTs will be contacted by the SC to communicate the changes.
