简要总结
A fundamental challenge for healthcare is to achieve a balance between decreasing the misuse of opioids and associated harms while optimizing patient care, including the provision of multidisciplinary treatments for chronic pain. However, despite recommendations that non-pharmacological interventions are rudimentary in the management of chronic pain, the literature describing which psychosocial interventions are best practice is nearly non-existent. Most of the psychosocial treatments that target either CNCP or opioid misuse are very general and broad-based therapies. However, there is a lack of evidence-informed direction guiding which psychosocial treatments should be adapted to this specialized population and thus, further research is needed.
详细描述
This project is a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) of an Integrated Psychosocial Group Treatment (IPGT) in patients with chronic pain who are at risk for opioid misuse. IPGT is a comprehensive approach that blends evidenced-based psychosocial treatments for chronic pain and opioid misuse and addresses each issue individually, but also the interconnections between the overlapping problems. IPGT consists of 6 weekly group sessions of motivational interviewing and behavioral change, self-management, and pain education focused on appropriate adherence to treatment and resisting urges to misuse prescription medications. The intervention also entails an education session on knowledge pertaining to overdose and naloxone distribution. This study will involve the randomization of 40 patients to receive either: (1) treatment as usual (TAU; n=20); or (2) integrated psychosocial group intervention (IPGT; n=20). This study will: (1) establish feasibility; (2) demonstrate acceptability; and (3) demonstrate preliminary efficacy for an integrated psychosocial group treatment model for patients with chronic pain who are at risk of opioid misuse. The data generated from this study will also serve as a foundation for future implementation to support a subsequent fully-powered RCT.

研究组 & 干预措施
IPGT
Experimental: IPGT (n=15) Integrated Psychosocial Group Treatment
IPGT consists of 6 weekly group sessions of motivational interviewing and behavioral change, self-management, and pain education focused on appropriate adherence to treatment and resisting urges to misuse prescription medications. The intervention also entails an education session on knowledge pertaining to overdose education and naloxone distribution. Topics covered in IPGT include: Pacing and goal setting, negative thinking, coping with stress and anxiety, sleep enhancement techniques, managing set-backs, and chronic pain and your life.
干预措施: IPGT (Behavioral)
Treatment as Usual
Active Comparator: (n=15) Treatment as Usual
The treatment as usual or control group refers to the standard of care that patients receive for their chronic pain which allows patients to discuss chronic pain with their providers at their discretion. Although highly variable, providers can recommend and prescribe pharmacologic, non-pharmacologic approaches for pain. This study will not interfere in any way with usual care. No additional treatment will be provided to participants allocated to the control group.
干预措施: Treatment as Usual (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Feasibility of attrition
时间窗: 12 Months
Successful delivery of all intervention components to 75% of IPGT recipients.Treatment retention of 75% of IPGT recipients at the completion of the study will be analyzed by calculating number of recipients retained at 6 weeks divided by number of consented recipients.
