About this study

Official title: Reducing Sedentary Time in Fibromyalgia (ReSeT-FM): A Feasibility Study

This study evaluates the feasibility of a behavioral intervention designed to replace sedentary behavior with light physical activity in veterans with Fibromyalgia. The study will also evaluate the acceptability of the intervention among veterans and intervention effects on pain and physical function.

Read the detailed description

Recent research suggests that individuals with Fibromyalgia (FM) who spend more time in sedentary behavior and less time in light physical activity experience greater clinical pain and overall impact of FM, irrespective of time spent in moderate to vigorous physical activity. To date, no studies have investigated the potential impact of reducing sedentary behavior on key clinical and physical function outcomes in FM. The overall objective of the pilot project is to design and evaluate the feasibility of an 8-week behavioral intervention designed to replace sedentary behavior with light physical activity in veterans with FM. Mixed (quantitative and qualitative) methods will be used to evaluate the behavioral intervention, which is based on constructs from social cognitive and self-regulatory theories that consistently identify important drivers of behavior change as: education, goal-setting, self-monitoring and behavioral prompts to move via an activity tracker and phone app, and feedback on behavior via weekly meetings.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ReSeT-FM interventionBehavioural

    The ReSeT-FM intervention focuses on behavior changes strategies aimed at reducing sedentary time and includes: education, goal setting, self-monitoring of behavior and behavioral prompts to move via an activity tracker and phone app, and feedback on behavior via weekly meetings with study coaches.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in minutes of sedentary time per day

    Participants will wear an Actigraph accelerometer, which provides a well established measure of sedentary time.

    Measured: This measure will be assessed at baseline and 8 weeks. At each time point the accelerometer will be worn for 1 week.

  2. Change in minutes of light physical activity per day.

    Participants will wear an Actigraph accelerometer, which provides a well established measure of light physical activity.

    Measured: This measure will be assessed at baseline and 8 weeks. At each time point the accelerometer will be worn for 1 week.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire Revised (FIQ-R)

    This 21-item instrument assesses symptoms, function, and overall impact of fibromyalgia.

    Measured: This measure will be assessed at baseline and 8 weeks.

  2. Brief Pain Inventory (BPI)

    This 11-item instrument rates the intensity of pain as well as interference of pain with mood, physical activity, work, social activity, relations with others, sleep, and enjoyment of life.

    Measured: This measure will be assessed at baseline and 8 weeks.

  3. Medical Outcomes Study Short Form Questionnaire (SF-12)

    This questionnaire assess physical and mental functioning.

    Measured: This measure will be assessed at baseline and 8 weeks.

  4. Six minute walk test

    This physical function test measures functional aerobic capacity. Subjects will walk as far as possible at their usual pace in 6 minutes around a predetermined indoor walking course on a flat surface.

    Measured: This measure will be assessed at baseline and 8 weeks.

  5. 30-second Chair stand test

    This physical function test measures lower body muscle strength. Subjects will complete as many sit to stands in a chair as possible in 30 seconds.

    Measured: This measure will be assessed at baseline and 8 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Fibromyalgia and Veterans, run by Indiana University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Feb 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in minutes of sedentary time per day (time frame: This measure will be assessed at baseline and 8 weeks. At each time point the accelerometer will be worn for 1 week.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Feb 2020.
