About this study

Official title: Adaptive Strategies for Resilient Intrinsic Self-Regulation in Extremes (RISE): A Controlled Clinical Trial as an Intervention for Chronic Pain From a Homeostatic Perspective

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of a resilience intervention in Veterans with chronic pain compared to wait list control.

Read the detailed description

After being consented and screened for eligibility, participants completed baseline assessments and then were randomized to either the study intervention or wait list control. Participants who were randomized to the study intervention completed post testing assessment measures within two weeks of the final treatment. Participants who were randomized to waitlist conditions completed post testing assessment measures within 2 weeks of the end of the waitlist condition and then subsequently received the study intervention.

What participants receive

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

  • Resilient Intrinsic Self-Regulation Strategies in ExtremesBehavioural

    Also called Active Intervention arm

    The manualized intervention covered resilience strategies organized into four modules: (1) engagement, (2) social relatedness, (3) transformation of pain and (4) building a good life. The modules were delivered in 8 weekly sessions of 90 minutes each.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Resilient Intrinsic Self-Regulation Strategies in Extremes in people with Chronic Pain, run by Phoenix VA Health Care System 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 1 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

RAND 36-item Health Survey (SF-36) - Mental Health and Physical Health subscales (time frame: 2 weeks). The study lists 12 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
