An internet-based cognitive-behavioral self-management intervention for patients with hand osteoarthritis or fibromyalgia – Two randomized controlled trials
ICBT improved pain coping in fibromyalgia at the primary endpoint, whereas the hand osteoarthritis trial was negative at the primary endpoint. Exploratory secondary findings suggest potential benefits for both conditions but warrant replication, particularly in subgroups with a high disease impact.
