About this study
Official title: Development and Preliminary Testing of a Peer Narrative Video Intervention for Older Adults With Chronic Pain
Chronic musculoskeletal (MSK) pain, which includes spinal pain, osteoarthritis, and fibromyalgia, is a common and costly problem for older adults and is associated with decreased quality of life. In this project, investigators propose to create Reclaim Your Day (RYD), which will consist of 6, 30-min weekly video episodes highlighting patients' inspiring and illustrative experiences living with chronic pain in order to teach current patients with chronic MSK pain how to apply ACT's evidence-based strategies. INvestigators will conduct a pilot RCT (n=100) of older adults with chronic MSK pain. All participants will receive an introductory pain education video. Participants will be randomized to receive either RYD or a comparison intervention (health education videos). Investigators will examine RYD feasibility and acceptability as well as changes over time in outcomes (pain interference, depression, quality of life) and putative mediators.
Read the detailed description
Chronic musculoskeletal (MSK) pain, which includes spinal pain, osteoarthritis, and fibromyalgia, is a common and costly problem for older adults and is associated with decreased quality of life. There is a clear need for interventions that increase one's ability to cope with chronic pain and engage in meaningful life activities even with the presence of chronic pain. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a psychotherapy that uses mindfulness and psychological acceptance to support individuals in working toward behavioral goals guided by their personal values, even in the presence of undesirable experiences such as chronic pain. Clinical practice guidelines recommend the use of ACT for treating chronic pain based on evidence of effectiveness from multiple RCTs. However, uptake and reach are limited because there are insufficient numbers of mental health professionals who currently offer ACT or other recommended therapies (e.g., cognitive-behavioral therapy) for chronic pain. In addition, many older adults are not willing or able to engage in traditional psychotherapy for chronic pain even when it is available. Although some bibliotherapy and digital health interventions (e.g., apps) have been developed for treating pain, many older adults fail to use them due to low levels of comfort with technology or lack of motivation for intensive self-guided approaches. Narrative communication is an alternative way to deliver behavior change principles that involves "storytelling" involving real patients talking about their struggles and recovery progress. Therapeutic narratives delivered via videos may be more engaging and immersive than traditional self-help formats for older adults. In this project, investigators propose to create Reclaim Your Day (RYD), which will consist of 6, 30-min weekly video episodes highlighting patients' inspiring and illustrative experiences living with chronic pain in order to teach current patients with chronic MSK pain how to apply ACT's evidence-based strategies. Investigators will conduct a pilot RCT (n=100) of older adults with chronic MSK pain. All participants will receive an introductory pain education video. Participants will be randomized to receive either RYD or a comparison intervention (health education videos). Investigators will examine RYD feasibility and acceptability as well as changes over time in outcomes (pain interference, depression, quality of life) and putative mediators.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Reclaim Your DayBehavioural
Reclaim You Day is a 6-part video intervention that features peers with lived experience describing how they learned to live well with their chronic pain and is provided for 6 weeks.
Health educationBehavioural
Health education is a 6-part video series covering various health topics and is offered over 6 weeks.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Reclaim Your Day | Experimental | Reclaim You Day is a 6-part video intervention that features peers with lived experience describing how they learned to live well with their chronic pain and is provided for 6 weeks. Receives: Behavioral: Reclaim Your Day |
| Health education | Active comparator | Health education is a 6-part video series covering various health topics and is offered over 6 weeks. Receives: Behavioral: Health education |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ)
The Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ) is an 8 item self-report measure of patient satisfaction with treatment. The total score will be used and ranges from 8 to 32 with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction with treatment.
Measured: 6 weeks
Secondary outcomes (1)
Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) - Pain Interference subscale
The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) - Pain Interference subscale is a 7-item patient-reported rating of how much pain interferes with daily functioning on 0-10 numeric scales and is typically scored as the mean of the 7 items (range 0-10, higher scores = greater interference).
Measured: 6 weeks
