研究概览
简要总结
To determine whether participation in a cognitive training program over a training period of five weeks improves cognitive flexibility in patients with chronic hip, knee, and back pain.
详细描述
This project is a single-center prospective, randomized study to assess whether cognitive flexibility can be improved through training on a Lumosity®-based training module over the course a five week timeframe in patients with chronic hip, knee, and back pain; and whether changes in cognitive flexibility will correlate with perceived pain scores.

研究组 & 干预措施
Intervention
Patients in both groups will complete paper-pencil TMT A and B and the CWMST, the computer-based TMT A and B and Color Match, and NCPT tests upon enrollment into the study.
Participants in the intervention group will then be provided with the Lumosity cognitive flexibility training module and complete daily training for a total of five weeks. 1-3 days after completion of their training, all patients will be invited to complete the computerized versions of the TMT A and B, Color Match, and NCPT tests again on their personal computers.
干预措施: Training (Behavioral)
Control
Patients in both groups will complete paper-pencil TMT A and B and the CWMST, the computer-based TMT A and B and Color Match, and NCPT tests upon enrollment into the study.
Patients in the control group will complete all tests upon enrollment and approximately five weeks after their initial testing, but will not participate in training.
结局指标
主要结局
Does cognitive training over five weeks improve cognitive flexibility performance scores in chronic hip, knee, and back pain patients?
时间窗: Up to 5 months
The primary outcome, i.e. NCPT score, will be assessed before and after five weeks of cognitive training. T-test will be used to compare the change in NCPT score between the training and the control group.
