简要总结
The purpose of this pilot project is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of proposed methods for a subsequent clinical trial of a tailored self-management program (PACT) designed to decrease pain in participants with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). The PACT program is a personalized program of exercise and behavioral changes implemented through a web-based program supported by a health coach. For this feasibility and acceptability study, 80 adults with TMD pain will be randomized either to the PACT program or to traditional self-care.
详细描述
The primary study objectives of the PACT study are two-fold:
- Evaluate the feasibility of methods to conduct a full-scale multi-site randomized clinical trial comparing PACT self-management with traditional self-care for TMD. The study will also evaluate strategies to: identify, recruit, consent, and enroll eligible subjects into both groups meeting target goal; evaluate adherence to intervention and identification of barriers; evaluate adherence to outcomes assessment, and evaluate the on-line web-site functionality and acceptability.
- To demonstrate ability to accurately capture outcome measures to be used in the multi-site study.
Primary study objective: Recruitment is measured through achievement of target sample, number of patients identified that meet eligibility criteria, and number (%) of subjects consenting compared with total contacted.
Intervention adherence is measured by: number of participants enrolled in both groups, number of participants accessing on-line materials, completion of practice logs, and identification of self-reported barriers of participation in self-care. Outcome adherence is measured by the number of participants who complete the baseline assessment, complete the two and four month follow-up assessments, complete the program evaluation, and complete qualitative post-study interview. Website acceptability is measure by identification of problems and barriers during use and quality and ease of use at the post-intervention evaluation.
Second objective: Efficacy of the program is measured by self-reported outcome assessments. The primary outcomes include TMD symptoms, jaw functioning, and emotional functioning. Secondary outcomes measures include symptom severity with the temporal aspects of pain, pain interference, and patient ratings of improvement. Additional information on mediators and modifiers will also be gathered to help inform the how and why the intervention has an effect. Mediators will be measured to identify factors that help explain why PACT may have an effect including self-efficacy, patient activation, exercise level, sleep quality, and social support. Contextual process factors to identify in whom the intervention does and does not work include disability status, catastrophizing, depression, repetitive strain from oral habits, and perceived stress.

研究组 & 干预措施
Traditional Self-Care Control Arm
Traditional self-care includes focusing on rest and healing through changes in chewing, diet, heat/cold, over the counter analgesics, and reducing strain from oral and sleeping habits. Participants will also participate in usual care from the dentist such as a splint or anti-inflammatory medications. Participants will complete follow-up measures at 8-weeks (post-intervention) and at 16-weeks (2 months after program end). .
PACT Experimental Arm
If selected for the PACT care arm, participant will be prompted to complete a self-management program, entitled Personalized Activated Care and Training (PACT) that is a tailored 8-week progressive web-based training program supported by a health coach to enhance understanding, compliance, and success in improving TMD pain. Participant will also participate in usual care from the dentist such as a splint or anti- inflammatory medications.Participant will complete follow-up measures at 8-weeks (post-intervention) and at 16-weeks (2 months after program end).
