Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluates the clinical impact of a combined protocol with cognitive-behavioral intervention and physiotherapy adjuvant to the standard medical treatment in patients with haemophilia that suffer from chronic pain


Description:

The purpose of this study is to improve the perception of the experience of chronic pain, as well as functionality and quality of life in hemophilic patients with chronic pain

Secondary objectives are:

- to change the perception that the patient has of their pain, to improve the coping strategies and to increase the perception of self-efficacy of patients in pain management.

- to increase the resources that allow a better self-regulatory of emotional, cognitive and competential of the pain experience, reverting in the emotional state of patients, particularly in levels of anxiety and depression.

- to improve functional capacity and musculoskeletal status.

- to improve quality of life.

- to determine whether changes / improvements are maintained over time 3 months after finishing the program

Gender Male
Age group 18 Years to 60 Years
Eligibility Inclusion Criteria:

- Diagnosis of haemophilia A or B.

- Age between 18 and 60 years.

- Informed consent signed.

- Signs of arthropathy according to clinical criteria (score Gilbert) and / or radiological criteria (score Pettersson) in at least one of the six joints most commonly affected (ankles, knees or elbows)

- Chronic pain (CP) defined as persistent pain lasting at least six months and resistant to conventional medical therapy. It differs from the acute pain not only in its longer duration, but also sometimes persists even after the cause that produced it has disappeared.

- Absence of active coping strategies, understanding the concept of coping as those cognitive and behavioral efforts made by the individual in order to manage internal and external demands generated by their chronic pain condition and that involve a challenge to their potential individual resources.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Presence of inhibitor to FVIII or FIX.

- Another haemostatic defect.

- Patients with severe cognitive deficits with which it is not possible a cognitive psychological intervention.

- The inability to attend physiotherapy sessions for 12 consecutive weeks (7 supervised and 31 self-monitored)

- Surgical procedures performed 6 weeks prior or during the intervention protocol.

- Not acceptance or withdrawal of informed consent

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Changes in Perceived Self-efficacy: Chronic Pain Self-Efficacy Scale Spainsh Version. (Martín-Aragon et al., 1999). The scale contain 3 Subscales: Self-efficacy in the control of symptoms (score 0-80); Self-efficacy in physical functioning (score 0-60) and Self-efficacy in pain management (score 0-50). Total Score: 0-190 and higher values represent a better outcome (more Self-Efficacy perceived). baseline, 4 months, 7 months
Secondary Quality of Life related with health Measured by a Specific questionnaire for Quality of Life related with health evaluation for adults with haemophilia (A36Haemophilia-QoL), which explores 9 areas. Subscales and score range: Physical health: 0-32; Daily activities: 0-16; Joints: 0-12; Pain: 0-8; Treatment satisfaction: 0-8; Difficulties treatment: 0-16; Emotional functioning: 0-20; Mental health: 0-12; Social activity: 0-20. Subscales are summed, with a total score from 0-144 and higher values represent a better outcome (more Quality of Life perceived). baseline, 4 months, 7 months
Secondary Emotional status Patient's emotional state will be evaluated by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD), which assess the level of anxiety and depression. Subscales and score range are Anxiety (0-21) and Depression (0-21). Scoring: items of each subscale are summed, indicating: 0-7 normality, 8-10 probably case, 11-21 anxiety or depression clinical case. Higher values represent a worse outcome. baseline, 4 months, 7 months
Secondary Nociceptive pain Nociceptive pain will be measured by the Visual Analog Scale for pain (VAS) from 0 to 10, where higher values represent a worse outcome. baseline, 4 months, 7 months
Secondary Neuropathic pain Neuropathic pain evaluation by Pain Detect Questionnaire (Pain-Detect-Q-Spanish, with a total score 0-38, indicating: 0-12 absence of neuropathic pain; >12-18 doubtful diagnosis and >18-38 presence of neuropathic pain. baseline, 4 months, 7 months
Secondary Kinesiophobia Kinesiophobia will be evaluated by Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK-11SV) (Spanish adaptation. Gómez-Pérez, López-Martínez y Ruiz-Párraga, 2011). Scoring: Items are summed, with a total score from 11-44 and higher values represent a worse outcome (more pain interference in behavior). baseline, 4 months, 7 months
Secondary Functional capacity: The Timed "Up & Go" test Timed "Up & Go" will be used to measure functional capacity. Less time to complete the test in seconds implies better outcome baseline, 4 months, 7 months
Secondary Functional capacity: Sit-to-stand test Sit-to-stand test will be used to measure functional capacity. Less time to complete the test in seconds implies better outcome baseline, 4 months, 7 months
Secondary Functional capacity: 2-minutes walk test Evaluation of functional capacity during walking by using 2 minutes walk test. More distance covered in 2 minutes implies better outcome. baseline, 4 months, 7 months
Secondary Self-perceived functional capacity Impact of haemophilia on self-perceived functional abilities in adults measured by Haemophilia Activities List questionnaire (HAL). It contains 42 multiple choice questions in seven domains (Sum Score: 42-252). Normalized scores for the domains and the full questionnaire can also be obtained, being possible scores range from 0 to 100, where 0 represents the worst possible functional status and 100 the best possible functional status. baseline, 4 months, 7 months
Secondary Active Range of Movement A digital goniometer will be used (Digital absolute Axis goniometer, Baseline evaluation instruments, White Plains, USA) for the measurement of active elbow, knee and ankle range of movement. baseline, 4 months, 7 months
Secondary Joint health status Joint clinical evaluation of elbows, knees and ankles by using The Hemophilia Joint Health Score 2.1 (HJHS). The full score range goes from 0 to 124 points (0-20 points for each of the six joints evaluated, plus 4 points for the overall assessment of gait. 0 means no joint damage, whereas the higher the value, the higher the degree of arthropathy. baseline, 4 months, 7 months
