Overview
Brief Summary
This study will evaluate the sustainability of pain and functional outcomes along with return to opioid use in a population of patients that successfully completed a comprehensive interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation program. In addition, this study will compare outcomes sustainability and return to opioid use between pain program graduates who receive post discharge self-management resources consisting of a DVD with videos of recommended flexibility practice (standard of care) or access to an online telerehabilitation platform that provides patients with access to the flexibility practice videos on a variety of telecommunication devices (e.g., computer, smart phone, tablet).
Detailed Description
The primary purpose of this paper is to compare the use of an online telerehabilitation platform versus a standard prerecorded DVD in supporting the sustainability of outcomes achieved during a comprehensive multidisciplinary pain rehabilitation program. Primary Hypotheses Graduates from a comprehensive interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation program will... 1. ...demonstrate greater adherence to post-discharge home exercise recommendations when given access to an online telerehabilitation platform compared to DVDs offered as current standard of care. 2. ...achieve greater sustainability of programs outcomes including pain intensity, level of function, and reduction of opioid use. Primary Research Questions 1. Does access to an online telerehabilitation platform impact adherence to post-discharge home exercise recommendations in graduates from a comprehensive interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation program? 2. Does access to an online telerehabilitation platform impact outcomes sustainability and opioid use in graduates from a comprehensive interdisciplinary pain management program? Additional items that will be evaluated by this study include the participants' experience and satisfaction with use of the online telerehabilitation platform. Secondary Hypotheses 1. Participants using the online telerehabilitation platform will report a more enjoyable experience and overall greater satisfaction with post-discharge self-management compared to participants receiving standard of care. 2. Utilization of the online telerehabilitation platform will be associated with perceptions of usefulness and ease of use of internet technology. Secondary Research Questions 1. Does use of an online telerehabilitation platform impact patient satisfaction with post-discharge self-management compared to current standard of care? 2. Does internet technology acceptance impact utilization of post-discharge self-management resources provided through an online telerehabilitation platform?

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Adherence to post-discharge home exercise recommendations
Time Frame: 12 months post discharge
Self-reported home exercise program adherence. Utilization data from the online telerehabilitation platform will also be collected for the telerehabilitation group.
PROMIS Measure - Pain Interference - Short Form 4a
Time Frame: 12 months post discharge
The PROMIS Pain Interference item banks assess self-reported consequences of pain on relevant aspects of one's life. This includes the extent to which pain hinders engagement with social, cognitive, emotional, physical, and recreational activities. Pain Interference also incorporates items probing sleep and enjoyment in life, though the item bank only contains one sleep item. The pain interference short forms are universal rather than disease-specific. All assess pain interference over the past seven days.
PROMIS Measure - Physical Function - Short Form 8b
Time Frame: 12 months post discharge
PROMIS Physical Function instruments measure self-reported capability rather than actual performance of physical activities. This includes the functioning of one's upper extremities (dexterity), lower extremities (walking or mobility), and central regions (neck, back), as well as instrumental activities of daily living, such as running errands. A single Physical Function capability score is obtained from a short form. Each Physical Function instrument is appropriate for the adult general population and adults with chronic health conditions.
PROMIS Measure - Self-Efficacy for Managing Symptoms - Short Form 8a
Time Frame: 12 months post discharge
Self-efficacy is defined as confidence in one's ability to successfully perform specific tasks or behaviors. Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Conditions assesses confidence in one's ability to successfully perform specific tasks or behaviors related to one's health in a variety of situations. Several domains of Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Conditions relate to specific aspects of managing chronic conditions. Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Conditions - Manage Symptoms: Confidence to manage/control their symptoms, to manage their symptoms in different settings and to keep symptoms from interfering with work, sleep, relationships or recreational activities. The Self-Efficacy item banks are universal rather than disease-specific. The respondent should be an adult (age18+) and have at least one chronic health condition. The PROMIS Adult Self-Efficacy items banks have been modified from the NIH Toolbox Self-Efficacy item bank.
PROMIS Measure - Self-Efficacy for Managing Emotions - Short Form 8a
Time Frame: 12 months post discharge
Self-efficacy is defined as confidence in one's ability to successfully perform specific tasks or behaviors. Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Conditions assesses confidence in one's ability to successfully perform specific tasks or behaviors related to one's health in a variety of situations. Several domains of Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Conditions relate to specific aspects of managing chronic conditions. Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Conditions - Manage Emotions: Confidence to manage/control symptoms of anxiety, depression, helplessness, discouragement, frustration, disappointment and anger. The Self-Efficacy item banks are universal rather than disease-specific. The respondent should be an adult (age18+) and have at least one chronic health condition. The PROMIS Adult Self-Efficacy items banks have been modified from the NIH Toolbox Self-Efficacy item bank.
Secondary Outcomes
- Patient Satisfaction(12 months post discharge)
- Technology Acceptance Model Questionnaire(12 months post discharge)
