Community-Engaged Options to Facilitate Opioid Reduction
- Conditions
- Chronic Pain
- Interventions
- Other: Non-pharmacological pain treatment
- Registration Number
- NCT05098158
- Lead Sponsor
- Washington State University
- Brief Summary
This study investigates how adults prescribed opioids for chronic noncancer pain respond to invitations to try non-opioid options of massage therapy, yoga therapy, chiropractic and physical therapies. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, these options will be available via telehealth consultation visits using a computer or smartphone with internet connection. The investigators will measure effects on pain, pain-related symptoms, and opioid use over time using a single-group design.
- Detailed Description
Participants will be recruited from local primary care practices and asked to complete a baseline survey. They will then meet with a registered nurse via teleconference for a complete pain assessment. At the end of the session, participants will be asked to choose two of four available modalities for telehealth consultation. Participants will be scheduled for six telehealth sessions, once per week x six weeks with three consultations per each chosen therapy. Measurements of pain, mood, sleep, medicine use will be captured at baseline, three weeks and six weeks and examined for changes over time.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method PROMIS Pain interference rating 6 weeks 8 items asking about pain interference with life (range 8 to 40 with higher score worse pain interference)
Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Pain intensity rating 6 weeks 3 items asking about pain severity (range 3 to 15 with higher score worse pain intensity)
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method PROMIS Self-efficacy for managing symptoms short form 4a 6 weeks Self-efficacy self-report (range 4-20 with higher score better symptom management self-efficacy)
Anxiety using Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) 6 weeks 7-item scale with score range 0-21 (higher score is worsened anxiety)
Interpersonal Needs Questionnaire 6 weeks 9-item scale asking how one feels about others score range 0-18 (lower score indicates more unmet interpersonal needs)
