Clinical Trial Summary

An uncontrolled pilot in which Veterans age 60-95 years with chronic musculoskeletal (MSK) pain will undergo Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET) delivered over video teleconference (VTC; together vEAET). This study aims to obtain early implementation outcomes, as well as evaluate efficacy and estimated effect sizes.


Clinical Trial Description

For this pilot, vEAET will be provided to outpatient Veterans age 60-95 years with chronic MSK pain in order to obtain early implementation and clinical outcomes (i.e. acceptability, feasibility, appropriateness, fidelity, and effectiveness). Each Veteran will be provided a VTC capable tablet and technological support from a research coordinator as a strategy to overcome technology based obstacles and obtain feasibility data. Veterans will receive one 90-minute individual session of vEAET plus eight 90-minute weekly group sessions of vEAET, all delivered over VTC to their homes. Assessments will be performed at baseline, posttreatment, and 2-month follow-up remotely using OutcomeMD (Los Angeles, CA), a HIPAA-compliant, VA-approved web-based platform. The entire study will be performed without any in-person visits. ;
