The Application of Lifestyle Enhancing Validated Integrative Therapies for Everyday Pain in Cirrhosis (ALLEVIATE-C)
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a low-touch vs high-touch drug-free pain self-management program that may help lower pain and improve quality of life for adults with cirrhosis and pain. Participants are assigned by chance to one of two study groups. The groups receive different levels of support. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Do the programs help lower pain?
- Do the programs improve quality of life?
- Is one program more effective than the other?
Researchers will compare a low-touch self management program to a high-touch self-management program to see if the programs help manage pain.
Participants in the low-touch arm will:
- Learn new ways to manage pain without medication
- Receive access to the self-guided digital self-management platform
- Receive general behavioral text message nudges
- Receive a free Fitbit to keep
Participants in the high-touch arm will:
- Learn new ways to manage pain without medication
- Receive tailored access to the self-guided digital self-management platform
- Received individualized pain coaching and optional group coaching sessions
- Participate in a structured walking or meditation curriculum
- Receive a free Fitbit to keep

Detailní popis
The Application of Lifestyle Enhancing Validated Integrative Therapies for Everyday Pain in Cirrhosis (ALLEVIATE-C) is a multicenter, individual-level, parallel-arm, 1:1 randomized superiority trial with a 4-week run-in period followed by 48 weeks of intervention and follow-up. The study will compare effectiveness of a high-touch vs low-touch self-management program to treat chronic pain among patients with cirrhosis.
Participants in the high-touch arm receive tailored digital self-management program, individualized pain coaching, and a structured walking or meditation curriculum selected through Active Choice as the primary behavioral focus for 48 weeks. The high-touch arm also includes on-demand coaching for low-pain self-efficacy and optional group coaching sessions.
Participants in the low-touch arm receive access to the self-guided digital self-management platform with automated educational content and behavioral nudges for 48 weeks.
Remote or in-person follow up study visits will occur at 12, 24, 36, and 48 weeks.
Endpoints include:
- Primary: Change from baseline in pain interference over 48 weeks (measured using the Pain, Enjoyment of Life, and General Activity (PEG) scale).
- Secondary: Health-related quality of life, cognitive function, average daily step count, pain-related disability, nociplastic pain, cumulative exposure to potentially risky medications, days alive and out of the hospital, pain management strategies, intervention engagement, and care partner burden.
- Implementation: Acceptability, feasibility, intervention fidelity, and barriers and facilitators to implementation.

Pain Interference
Časové okno: 48 weeks
|
Change from baseline in pain interference over 48 weeks, measured by repeated assessments using the Pain, Enjoyment of life, and General activity (P.E.G.) scale at 12, 24, 36, and 48 weeks, and compared between the two groups.
The PEG is a three-item scale with a minimum value of 0 and a maximum value of 10 for each question.
A higher score indicates a worse outcome.

Health-related quality of life
Časové okno: 48 weeks
|
Change from baseline in health-related quality of life over 48 weeks, assessed using the PROMIS-29+2 Profile v2.1 (PROPr) domain T-scores (physical function, anxiety, depression, fatigue, sleep disturbance, ability to participate in social roles and activities, and pain interference) as well as the multidomain PROPr summary score. Most domains of the PROPr are ranked on a scale with a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 5. Scores for domains are assessed differently. For fatigue, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, and pain interference, a higher score indicates a worse outcome. For physical function, cognitive function, and ability to participate in social roles, a higher score indicates a better outcome. Pain intensity is separately ranked on a scale of 0 to 10, with a higher score indicating a worse outcome. |

Popis plánu IPD
Dissemination of results from this trial will be conducted in accordance with policies and procedures established by the Executive Committee. All abstracts, presentations, and manuscripts arising from this study will be reported to the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCOR)I in compliance with contractual requirements.
Fundamentally, PCORI's Policy for Data Management and Data Sharing articulates PCORI's expectation that Awardees make data and data documentation (Full Data Package) from their PCORI-funded research projects available to third-party requestors.
The deposition is centered around the Full Data Package, which is comprised of the Analyzable Data Set, Full Protocol, metadata, data dictionary, full statistical analysis plan (including all amendments and all documentation for additional work processes), and analytic code from a PCORI-funded research project.
