Many people with the condition attend pain management programmes (PMPs) for rehabilitation and support with self-management. Physical activity (PA) is an essential self-management strategy facilitated on PMPs as it benefits symptoms, general health and well-being. PA needs to be maintained in the long term to continue to be beneficial. However, while many patients increase their PA during or immediately after a PMP, they commonly find it difficult to maintain it in the long term. This study aims to address this problem by developing an intervention to support PA maintenance after a PMP.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and analysis<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This mixed-methods study will be guided by the Medical Research Council guidelines for developing complex interventions and the Behaviour Change Wheel intervention development framework. Participants will be recruited from multiple UK National Health Service PMPs. Participants will include patients with persistent musculoskeletal pain who have completed PMPs, their PA partners (people who support them with PA) and healthcare professionals who facilitate PA on PMPs. The study will be conducted in three phases. In phase 1, qualitative interviews will explore the experiences, barriers and facilitators of PA maintenance after a PMP and potential characteristics for a PA maintenance intervention from patient, PA partner and healthcare professional perspectives. Phase 2 will consist of a prospective longitudinal pilot study to identify factors associated with PA maintenance after a PMP. Phase 3 will involve developing a logic model and co-designing the intervention with patient, PA partner and healthcare professional stakeholder groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Ethics and dissemination<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The project received research ethics committee (REC) and Health Research Authority approval on 4 June 2024 (REC: North West\u2014Liverpool Central, REC reference: 24\/NW\/0174, IRAS Project ID: 340674).
