Evaluation of a Pilot Shard-care Program for Patients With Chronic Pain in the Champlain-LHIN (Shared-Care)

Detailed Description
There are currently many patients waiting to be seen at The Ottawa Hospital Pain Clinic (TOHPC). However, many patients with chronic pain (CP) have exhausted medical options or could be served in the community with appropriate support for them and their family physicians (FPs). eConsult is a secure web-based platform that allows TOHPC physicians to provide pain management advice within seven days within the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN).
In order to provide enhanced care to patients and improve the uptake of eConsult for CP, the investigators have developed a shared care model for CP in the Champlain LHIN. This program combines the use of eConsult for FPs and a 5-week self-directed online CP management program with therapist support available as needed.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Online chronic pain management program
There is only one arm.
Those who consent to participate in the study and take the online self-directed chronic pain management program with therapist support.
|
With the support of a study therapist, the participant will be enrolled in a 5 week self-directed pain management program.
The study therapist is a registered health professional.
The program will consist of 5 weeks of mindfulness training.
The mindfulness training focuses on the basics of mindfulness-based interventions including body, emotions, sensations, thoughts, compassion, pain and stress management.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in mean score of the Brief Pain Inventory-Interference Scale (BPI-I)
Time Frame: At enrollment prior to the program, 2 weeks post-program, and at a 3-month follow-up after the program
|
The interference scale measures the degree to which pain interferes in the lives of participants in 7 domains: general activity, mood, walking ability, normal work, relations with other persons, sleep and enjoyment of life on a scale from 0 to 10.
The higher the score, the greater the pain interferes with patient's activities.This is a well-validated measure of pain-related disability.
The minimum clinically significant difference is 1 point.
|
At enrollment prior to the program, 2 weeks post-program, and at a 3-month follow-up after the program
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in pain intensity, as measured by the Brief Pain Inventory.
Time Frame: At enrollment prior to the program, 2 weeks post-program, and at a 3-month follow-up after the program
|
The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) Pain Severity Scale measures the severity of pain one feels at worst, at least, on average, and at the time of questionnaire completion on a scale from 0 to 10.
The higher the score, the greater the pain severity.
|
At enrollment prior to the program, 2 weeks post-program, and at a 3-month follow-up after the program
|
Change in pain catastrophizing, as measured by the Pain Catastrophizing Scale
Time Frame: At enrollment prior to the program, 2 weeks post-program, and at a 3-month follow-up after the program
|
The Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) is a 13-item instrument which will evaluate the degree to which patients have negative self-statements and catastrophizing thoughts and ideations when in pain.
The PCS uses a 5-point likert scale (0=not at all, 4=all the time) and consists of three subscales (rumination, magnification, helplessness).
|
At enrollment prior to the program, 2 weeks post-program, and at a 3-month follow-up after the program
|
Change in mindfulness, as measured by the Short Form Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire.
Time Frame: At enrollment prior to the program, 2 weeks post-program, and at a 3-month follow-up after the program
|
Mindfulness will be measured using the Short Form Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ-SF).
The FFMQ-SF is a 24-item instrument measuring five aspects of mindfulness: Non-reactivity to inner experience, observing, describing, acting with awareness, and non-judging of experience.
Participants are asked to use a 5-point Likert-type scale (1 = never or rarely true; 5 = very often or always true) to rate how true of them they believe each statement to be.
|
At enrollment prior to the program, 2 weeks post-program, and at a 3-month follow-up after the program
|
Change in quality of life, as measured by the EuroQOL-5D
Time Frame: At enrollment prior to the program, 2 weeks post-program, and at a 3-month follow-up after the program
|
The EuroQOL-5D (EQ-5D) is a simple-to-use, valid, and sensitive instrument measuring quality of life.
It covers 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression.
Each dimension has 3 levels: no problems, some problems, or severe problems and participants use a tick box to select the statement that is most representative of their conditions.
Participants are also asked to rate, using a visual analogue scale (0 to 100), their state of health.
|
At enrollment prior to the program, 2 weeks post-program, and at a 3-month follow-up after the program
|
Change from baseline in depressive symptoms, as measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire - 9 scale
Time Frame: At enrollment prior to the program, 2 weeks post-program, and at a 3-month follow-up after the program
|
The Patient Health Questionnaire - 9 (PHQ-9) is a 9-item scale used to assess the severity of depressive symptoms over the past two weeks and is based on Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-IV) diagnostic criteria for major depression.
Total scores range from 0 to 27, and clinical cut-points correspond to mild, moderate, moderately severe, and severe depression.
|
At enrollment prior to the program, 2 weeks post-program, and at a 3-month follow-up after the program
|
Overall change in status from baseline, as measured by Patient Global Impression of Change scale
Time Frame: At enrollment prior to the program, 2 weeks post-program, and at a 3-month follow-up after the program
|
The participants' perceived degree of change in overall status will be measured using the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) scale.
The PGIC uses a 7-point likert scale (very much worse, to very much better) to measure how much the participant feels their overall status has changed since the start of the study.
|
At enrollment prior to the program, 2 weeks post-program, and at a 3-month follow-up after the program
|
Change from baseline in anxiety symptoms, as measured by the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7
Time Frame: At enrollment prior to the program, 2 weeks post-program, and at a 3-month follow-up after the program
|
The Generalized Anxiety Disorder - 7 (GAD-7) is a 7-item scale used to assess the severity of anxiety symptoms over the past two weeks.
Total scores range from 0 to 15, and clinical cut-points correspond to mild, moderate, and severe anxiety.
|
At enrollment prior to the program, 2 weeks post-program, and at a 3-month follow-up after the program
