This RCT found that among patients referred and admitted to specialist care due to neck and/or low back pain, the receipt of evidence-based and individually tailored self-management support via an AI-based app adjunct to usual care did not result in significantly improved musculoskeletal health at 3 months compared with usual care alone. The results for the primary and secondary outcomes were similar at 6 months.Multidisciplinary pain treatment in specialist care commonly includes elements intended to improve patients’ self-management skills.
