Aspects concerning psychological distress will be followed eg depression and anxiety using Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). |
| Before training, 4-6 months follow-up and 12 months follow-up |
| Pain sensitivity | Pain thresholds for pressure (algometry) and heat and cold (QST) will be registered. | Before training, 4-6 months follow-up and 12 months follow-up |
