Improving Functioning in Persons With Chronic Pain Post-SCI Through Virtual Classroom Education

8 maggio 2020 aggiornato da: Kessler Foundation

Chronic pain (pain that is that is present for a long period of time) is very common among people with spinal cord injury (SCI).

The purpose of this study is to compare how well two different web-based education programs reduce the level to which chronic pain interferes with daily activities and well-being.

Panoramica dello studio

Descrizione dettagliata

Chronic pain (pain that is present for a long period of time) is common among people with spinal cord injury (SCI). The pain is often severe and can affect daily activities. Unfortunately, common treatments such as medications provide incomplete relief from chronic pain. Thus, persons with SCI have to find alternate ways to live a happy, healthy, and productive life, even with some pain.

The purpose of this study is to compare how well two different web-based education programs reduce the level to which chronic pain interferes with daily activities and well-being.

Come è strutturato lo studio?

Dettagli di progettazione

  • Scopo principale: Trattamento
  • Assegnazione: Randomizzato
  • Modello interventistico: Assegnazione parallela
  • Mascheramento: Doppio

Armi e interventi

Gruppo di partecipanti / Arm
Intervento / Trattamento
Sperimentale: Web-Based Education Program Type 1
The education program involves ten weeks of web-based classes (1.5 hours per class) given once per week with daily homework assignments of approximately 30 minutes per day.
The classes will discuss topics related to health and functioning of people with spinal cord injury. During these classes, participants will be given information by the class instructor and will also participate in discussions and other learning activities with the rest of the group. Participants will be assigned activities to complete at home for about 30 minutes per day that relate to the topics discussed in class.
Sperimentale: Web-Based Education Program Type 2
The education program involves ten weeks of web-based classes (1.5 hours per class) given once per week with daily homework assignments of approximately 30 minutes per day.
The classes will discuss topics related to health and functioning of people with spinal cord injury. During these classes, participants will be given information by the class instructor and will also participate in discussions and other learning activities with the rest of the group. Participants will be assigned activities to complete at home for about 30 minutes per day that relate to the topics discussed in class.

Cosa sta misurando lo studio?

Misure di risultato primarie

Misura del risultato
Misura Descrizione
Lasso di tempo
Change in level of pain interference with activities, measured with the Life Interference Subscale of the Multidimensional Pain Inventory (MPI-LIS)
Lasso di tempo: Average of scores obtained during baseline (Week 1 and Week 2) compared to scores obtained during Week 12 (the week in which the program is completed)
The extent to which pain interferes with daily activities will be measured with the Life Interference Subscale of the Multidimensional Pain Inventory (MPI-LIS). The MPI-LIS is a self-report of extent of interference of pain with life activities and the enjoyment of life. The subscale will be modified to remove two items related to work, as recommended based on a factor analysis of the subscale in persons with SCI.
Average of scores obtained during baseline (Week 1 and Week 2) compared to scores obtained during Week 12 (the week in which the program is completed)

Misure di risultato secondarie

Misura del risultato
Misura Descrizione
Lasso di tempo
Change in pain intensity rated on a 0-10 numerical rating scale
Lasso di tempo: Week 12 versus baseline; 3, 6, 12 months post-intervention versus baseline
Pain intensity will be rated on a 0-10 numerical rating scale (0="no pain" and 10="pain as bad as you can imagine").
Week 12 versus baseline; 3, 6, 12 months post-intervention versus baseline
Change in Brief Patient Health Questionnaire scores
Lasso di tempo: Week 12 versus baseline; 3, 6, 12 months post-intervention versus baseline
The Brief Patient Health Questionnaire will be used to assess changes in mental health before and after participation in the education program.
Week 12 versus baseline; 3, 6, 12 months post-intervention versus baseline
Change in Mental Health Subscale of the SF-36 scores
Lasso di tempo: Week 12 versus baseline; 3, 6, 12 months post-intervention versus baseline
The Mental Health Subscale of the SF-36 will be used to assess changes in mental health and well-being before and after participation in the education program.
Week 12 versus baseline; 3, 6, 12 months post-intervention versus baseline
Change in Survey of Pain Attitudes scores
Lasso di tempo: Week 12 versus baseline; 3, 6, 12 months post-intervention versus baseline

Week 12 versus baseline; 3, 6, 12 months post-intervention versus baseline
Change in Coping Strategies Questionnaire scores
Lasso di tempo: Week 12 versus baseline; 3, 6, 12 months post-intervention versus baseline
The Coping Strategies Questionnaire will be used to assess thoughts and feelings about pain before and after participation in the education program.
Week 12 versus baseline; 3, 6, 12 months post-intervention versus baseline
Change in Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire scores
Lasso di tempo: Week 12 versus baseline; 3, 6, 12 months post-intervention versus baseline
The Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire will be used to assess thoughts and beliefs about pain before and after participation in the education program.
Week 12 versus baseline; 3, 6, 12 months post-intervention versus baseline
Pain interference with activities, measured with the Life Interference Subscale of the Change in Multidimensional Pain Inventory (MPI-LIS) scores
Lasso di tempo: 3, 6, 12 months post-intervention versus baseline
The extent to which pain interferes with daily activities will be measured with the Life Interference Subscale of the Multidimensional Pain Inventory (MPI-LIS).
