Larsen JB, Borregaard P, Thomsen JL, Rathleff MS, Johansen SKAbstract
Management of patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP) remains a challenge in general practice. The general practitioner (GP) often experiences diagnostic uncertainty despite frequently referring patients with CMP to specialized departments. Therefore, it remains imperative to gain insights on how to optimize and reframe the current setup for the management of patients with CMP. The objective was to explore GP’s perspectives on the challenges, needs, and visions for improving the management of patients with CMP.
