Chronic Pain Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effectiveness of an Electronic Pain Management Programme (ePain) for Working Population With Chronic Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Pain in commonly found in working population. The working population who aged from 15 to 64
is the largest portion of population in Hong Kong. Also, the prevalence of chronic pain in
this population group is high. The issue requires special attention. Researches demonstrated
pain affects a person in a multidimensional way. Pain induces negative effects to both the
physical and psychological aspects. The levels of depression, anxiety, stress are increased
and quality of life is decreased in people with chronic pain. They are interrelated to pain.
As pain induced discomforts, people adopted self-initiated treatments as treatment.
Pharmacological and non-pharmacological pain management interventions are commonly used.
Although people used different ways to relieve the pain, they tend to bear the pain to work
or take sick leave. This contributes to the work loss to the whole society.
Pain service in Hong Kong is scarce in the public and private sectors. It takes months for a
pain sufferer to be arranged for a pain clinic follow-up. It is possible for the pain get
worsen while waiting for the pain service. The pain can be difficult to treat afterwards. As
self-initiated treatments are welcomed by the pain sufferers, pain education can be focused
on empowering the pain sufferers on their pain knowledge and self-management techniques. The
pain self-efficacy can be enhanced. The pain sufferers can be benefited from lowering the
pain intensity and negative emotions. It can be a solution to develop an online pain
management programme to ease the service demand.
Limited studies are found for online pain management programmes to improve the pain
self-efficacy and self-management techniques. In order to fill the knowledge gap and service
gap, the present study aims to evaluate an online pain management programme (ePain) in
improving the self-efficacy, reduction of pain intensity, decreased levels of depression,
anxiety and stress, and improving quality of life in pain management in adults with chronic
pain. Participants are randomised to the intervention group or the control group.
Participants will register in ePain for an individual account. Then they will finish the the pre-test questionnaire. They will be randomized to either the intervention group or control group. ePain will be accessed by the participants in the intervention group. The control group will remain their regular activities. The participants in both groups will need to complete the pre-test (Week 1), process evaluation (Week 3), post-assessment (Week 6) and follow-up assessment (Week 12). Same questionnaire will be used in the assessments. Demographic data will be collected in Week 1. At Week 1, 3, 6 and 12, pain situation and pain self-efficacy will be collected. Data of negative emotions and quality of life will be collected at Week 1, 6 and 12. The control group will undergo the same assessment as the intervention group. ;
