Chronic pain is a multidimensional problem that consequently requires interventions on multiple levels. Pain education by physicians is one of the interventions that shows promising results in patient reported outcomes. It is however unclear if nurse-led chronic pain education could be equally effective on pain attitude and behavior in chronic pain patients. The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of a nurse-led consultation with chronic pain patients on pain attitude and patient satisfaction compared with regular care without nurse specialist intervention.
