Evidence-based Pain Intervention for Veterans: AtEase for Chronic Pain

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study is a randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy AtEase, a pain self-management app in a sample of Veterans with chronic musculoskeletal pain. The primary outcome is changes in PEG scores from baseline to final follow-up (12 months).

Clinical Trial Description

The primary objectives of this project are to develop and examine the effectiveness of a mobile app (AtEase) that is designed to provide tailored behavior change guidance to promote pain self-management, healthy sleep habits, and effective stress management in a randomized clinical trial including 262 Veterans with chronic pain. Veterans will be recruited from VA Connecticut Healthcare, as well as from numerous diverse community recruitment channels (including employers, community groups that provide services for Veterans, Student Veterans of America, and social media). Eligible Veterans will be randomized to receive access to AtEase or the comparison intervention (a mobile-optimized adaptation of Chronic Pain Education for Veterans) for a total of 6 months. AtEase is a tailored pain self-management mobile app that tailors participant's feedback based on readiness to engage in pain self-management and preference for self-management strategies. Chronic Pain Education for Veterans is a free VA-endorsed publicly available pain management online educational curriculum that provides cognitive-behavioral therapy-based pain self-management materials. Between the baseline assessment and the 6-month follow up assessment, participants will have unlimited access AtEase or the Chronic Pain Education for Veterans program. All participants will complete follow-up assessments at 6 months and 12-months post-baseline. The primary outcome will be a comparison of PEG scores at 12 months follow-up. Secondary outcomes will include pain,Global Impression of Change; readiness to self-manage pain, manage stress, and engage in healthy sleep habits; well-being; and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist scores. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
