Patients' Experiences of Multimodal Rehabilitation for Chronic Pain in Primary Care.
Article in Musculoskeletal care, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesTo describe how patients with chronic pain experienced participation in a multimodal rehabilitation programme (MMR) in primary care.
methodsThe study had a descriptive qualitative design with an inductive approach, including 10 participants (6 women and 4 men, aged 36-57). The MMR took place at a primary care centre in southern Sweden and consisted of face-to-face meetings twice a week for 6 to 7 weeks. The multidisciplinary team included a physiotherapist, an occupational therapist, a healthcare counsellor, and a physician. Individual in-person interviews were conducted using open-ended questions and analysed using qualitative content analysis.
resultsThe results illustrate participants' varied experiences of participation in MMR in primary care, described in three themes with six sub-themes: (1) knowing the pain (grasping the pain and voicing needs); (2) embracing pain (being recognised and empowered); and (3) building resilience (enhancing skillset and becoming proactive).
conclusionsMMR offered a structure to address chronic pain beyond symptoms, fostering better communication with healthcare professionals and promoting autonomy. It encouraged a shift towards a biopsychosocial understanding of pain and resilience building. Tailoring MMR to individual needs and previous experiences could further strengthen its impact on diverse groups of patients with chronic pain.
