Current Research

Multicentre pragmatic cluster randomised controlled feasibility trial to assess potential effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the Pain at Work Toolkit in employees with chronic or persistent pain (the PAW trial)

Background: Chronic or persistent pain affects around 28 million adults in the UK, reducing quality of life and people's ability to work or be productive at work. Sickness absence and reduced productivity costs the UK economy 拢73 billion per year. Access to work advice and support for people living with pain is variable. Most people with chronic pain do not receive work advice through healthcare services, and employers do not routinely provide education or support for people with chronic pain. The Pain at Work (PAW) Toolkit (Greaves et al, 2021; Blake et al, 2022) aims to equip people who have pain with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to: effectively self-manage a painful condition at work, access help and support, enjoy a better work experience and remain in the workforce. The PAW toolkit was co-created, and pilot tested, with people who have pain, employers, healthcare professionals and a pain charity, Burning Nights. It provides evidence-based education and advice about pain, disability rights, work capacity and adjustments, self-management strategies, and signposting to support.
