Complementary and Integrative Pain Therapies and Functional Restoration (IMPPPORT) Trial) (IMPPPORT)

Enhancing the Success of Functional Restoration Using Integrative Pain Therapies: a Comparative Effectiveness Analysis of Active Duty Service Members With Chronic Pain

This study aims to evaluate the benefit of a complementary and integrative health (CIH) pain management program when added to standard rehabilitative care (SC) compared to SC alone prior to an intensive functional restoration (FR) program in a population of active duty service members. In addition the study aims to identify factors that predict improvement in pain impact following treatment, and to determine the proportion of participants who experience clinically meaningful response.

SC included physical and occupational therapy. CIH included chiropractic, acupuncture, yoga and foam roller instruction. Both treatment groups also received education about pain psychology.

Participants were randomly assigned to a 3-week course of either SC alone or CIH combined with SC prior to a 3-week course of FR. Outcomes were collected at baseline, at end of stage 1, and post-FR. Outcomes included patient-reported and provider-determined measures.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Change in National Institutes of Health (NIH) Research Task Force (RTF) Impact Score - baseline to end of stage 1 treatment	The RTF Impact score is was computed by adding the following three scores: 1) average pain intensity (range 0=no pain - 10=worst pain) from the Defense and Veterans Pain Rating Scale (DVPRS); 2) the NIH Patient Reported Outcome Measures Information System (PROMIS) pain interference score (range 4-20 with higher scores indicating worse status; 3) the REVERSE of the PROMIS physical function scores (range 4-20 with higher score indicating better status and higher score on reverse scale indicating worse status).
