Multicomponent Pain Self-Management in Adults With Haemophilic Arthropathy

1 oktober 2026 bijgewerkt door: Rubén Cuesta-Barriuso, Investigación en Hemofilia y Fisioterapia

Multicomponent Pain Self-Management Programme in Adults With Haemophilic Arthropathy: Protocol for a Randomised Controlled Trial

Background: Haemophilic arthropathy is associated with chronic pain, functional limitation and impaired quality of life. Pain interference may also be influenced by cognitive, emotional and behavioural factors. Evidence for structured multicomponent pain self-management programmes specifically tailored to adults with haemophilic arthropathy remains limited.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a structured multicomponent pain self-management programme, compared with usual care, in reducing pain interference in adults with haemophilia A or B, haemophilic arthropathy and chronic pain.

Methods: Approximately 70 adults will be individually randomised in a 1:1 ratio to a multicomponent pain self-management programme or usual care. The intervention will comprise three 60-minute face-to-face group sessions delivered over approximately 6-8 weeks. The programme will integrate pain education, emotional-regulation training and cognitive-behavioural self-management strategies. Assessments will be performed at baseline, immediately after the intervention and at 6 months. The primary outcome will be the between-group difference in change in Brief Pain Inventory-Interference score from baseline to 6 months.

Gedetailleerde beschrijving

This is a superiority, individually randomised, partially nested controlled trial with two parallel groups and a 1:1 allocation ratio. Participants allocated to the experimental arm will receive a structured multicomponent pain self-management programme delivered in three educational cohorts of approximately 11-12 participants. The control group will continue with usual care during the 6-month study period.

The intervention will comprise three face-to-face sessions of approximately 60 minutes delivered at 3-4-week intervals. It will integrate education on pain neurobiology and modulation, emotional-regulation training and cognitive-behavioural coping strategies. Content will be specifically adapted to haemophilic arthropathy, including education on distinguishing persistent pain from symptoms suggestive of acute haemarthrosis and a standardised safety pathway for suspected bleeding.

Participants in the control group will continue routine haematological follow-up, prescribed haemostatic and analgesic treatment and their usual physical activity, exercise or physiotherapy. Following completion of the 6-month assessment, control participants will be offered the same multicomponent programme.

Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, immediately after the third intervention session and at 6 months. The primary outcome will be pain interference assessed using the Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form. Secondary outcomes will include pain intensity, kinesiophobia, pain catastrophising, anxiety, depressive symptoms, illness perception, health-related quality of life and physical activity.

Wapens en interventies

Deelnemersgroep / Arm
Interventie / Behandeling
Experimenteel: Experimental group

Participants will receive three face-to-face group sessions of approximately 60 minutes delivered at 3-4-week intervals over approximately 6-8 weeks. The programme integrates pain education, emotional-regulation training and cognitive-behavioural self-management strategies specifically adapted to adults with haemophilic arthropathy.
Ander: Multicomponent pain self-management programme

The intervention comprises three structured face-to-face group sessions. Content includes pain neurobiology and modulation; distinctions between nociception, pain and tissue damage; biopsychosocial and fear-avoidance models; emotional regulation; diaphragmatic breathing; mindfulness; acceptance and resilience; physical activity; identification of maladaptive beliefs and cognitive distortions; cognitive restructuring; self-instruction; guided imagery; physiological de-arousal; and development of an individual self-management plan. Participants will also receive digital educational materials and between-session home assignments. A standardised safety pathway for suspected acute haemarthrosis will be included.
Geen tussenkomst: No Intervention

Participants will continue their usual care, including routine haematological follow-up, prescribed haemostatic and analgesic treatment and their usual physical activity, exercise or physiotherapy routines. They will not receive the structured pain self-management programme or its educational materials before completion of the 6-month follow-up. After the final 6-month assessment, they will be offered the same multicomponent programme as the experimental group.

Primaire uitkomstmaten

Uitkomstmaat
Maatregel Beschrijving
Tijdsspanne
Change in pain interference from baseline to 6 months
Tijdsspanne: Baseline and 6 months

Pain interference will be assessed using the Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF). The BPI-Interference score is calculated as the mean of seven items scored from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating greater interference of pain with daily life. The primary outcome is the between-group difference in mean change from baseline to the 6-month follow-up.
