Show all 41Show fewer
  • Hallucinogens
  • Inhalants
  • Opioids
  • Sedatives (hypnotics or anxiolytics)
  • Stimulants
  • Overall, the diagnosis was based on pathological patterns of behaviors related to the use of the substance. Criteria that fit with overall groupings include impaired control, social impairment, risky use, and pharmacological criteria
  • Impaired control
  • The individual may express overall desire to cut down or regulate substance use and may report multiple unsuccessful efforts to decrease or discontinue use
  • The individual may spend a great deal of time obtaining the substance, using the substance, or recovering from its affects
  • The individual's daily activities revolve around the substance in some instances of more severe substance use disorder
  • Craving is manifested by intense desire or urge for the drug that may occur at any time
  • Social impairment

  • The individual may continue substance use despite knowledge of having persistent or recurrent physical or psychological problem that is likely to have been caused or exacerbated by the substance
  • Pharmacologic criteria
  • Tolerance is signaled by requiring a markedly increased dose of substance to achieve the desired effect or markedly reduced effect when the usual dose is consumed
  • Withdrawal is a syndrome that occurs when blood or tissue concentrations of a substance decline in an individual who had maintained a prolonged heavy use of the substance
  • After developing withdrawal symptoms, the individual is likely to consume the substance to relieve the symptoms
  • Symptoms of tolerance or withdrawal occurring during appropriate medication treatment with prescribed medications are specifically not counted. However, prescription medications can be used inappropriately based on criteria above and substance use disorder can be correctly diagnosed when there are other symptoms of compulsive and drug seeking behavior
  • Substance use disorders occur in a broad range of severity from mild to severe with severity based on number of symptom criteria endorsed.
  • Mild
  • Presence of 2-3 symptoms
  • Moderate
  • Presence of 4-5 symptoms
  • Severe
  • Presence of 6-7 symptoms
  • For our research purposes, our exclusion criteria included any individual who met criteria for mild, moderate, and severe substance use disorder
  • Those with severe cognitive or psychiatric impairments that preclude participation in group sessions will be excluded
  • Patients should not have any uncontrolled illness of any kind including ongoing or active infection

About this study

Official title: Cancer Pain Rehabilitation Program in Cancer Survivorship Feasibility Study

This clinical trial studies the effect of an interdisciplinary program with strong patient involvement on managing long-term chronic pain for cancer survivors. The purpose of this study is to determine whether enrolling patients into an interdisciplinary program can improve mobility with physical and occupational therapy and participation in online group psychotherapy that teaches coping skills to enhance quality of life.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To test the feasibility of an interdisciplinary functional restoration program in cancer survivors with chronic pain and restoring physical function.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To explore the preliminary effect of functional restoration program (FRP) in restoring physical function and reducing pain which ultimately decreases opioid consumption.

OUTLINE:

Patients participate in the cancer pain rehabilitation program for 6 weeks, including educational sessions over 2 hours once weekly, group psychological interventions, group physical therapy, and 1:1 physical and occupational therapy treatment per the patient's treatment plan. Patients may also undergo osteopathic manual treatments per physical and occupational therapy assessments.

After completion of study intervention, patients are followed up at 3 months.

Being tested
Behavioral, Psychological or Informational Intervention, Educational Intervention, Manipulative and Body-Based Intervention Procedure, Occupational Therapy, Physical Activity

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?

Feasibility of Functional Restoration Program (time frame: 24 months from the intervention date). 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?
