Low Back Pain Clinical Trial
Official title:
Empowering the Management of Pain-Obesity-Weight Through Enhanced Reward
The central objective of research is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of an 8-month single-arm behavioral intervention (i.e., EMPOWER) among overweight/obese middle-aged and older adults with moderate-to-high impact low back pain. Intervention content will focus on standard behavioral weight loss treatment and cognitive-behavioral pain coping therapy with a focus on environmental reward and positive affect.
Chronic low back pain (cLBP) is the leading cause of disability worldwide and is one of the top reasons for seeking healthcare. High-impact low back pain is particularly problematic, defined as chronic pain accompanied by significant restrictions in work, social, and/or self-care activities for six months or more. High-impact pain is associated with greater pain-related disability, opioid use, and healthcare costs compared to pain of lower impact. Thus, efforts to reduce chronic pain impact have become a public health initiative. Low back pain and overweight/obesity are highly comorbid; overweight and obese individuals are up to 43% more likely to have cLBP compared to normal weight individuals. Together, the additive effects of overweight/obesity and chronic pain may play a larger role in increasing the risk for other adverse health-related comorbidities. The aim of this exploratory study is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of an integrated pain and weight management intervention (EMPOWER) for middle-aged and older adults with moderate-to-high impact low back pain by addressing mechanisms of environmental reward and positive affect. Forty adults (ages 45-80 years) with comorbid overweight/obesity (BMI≥25 kg/m2) and moderate-to-high impact cLBP will be assigned to an 8-month intervention, whereby they will receive a group- and telephone-based program featuring integrated behavioral weight loss treatment and cognitive-behavioral pain coping therapy. To address the key mechanisms of environmental reward and positive affect, the proposed intervention will incorporate systematic pleasant activity scheduling and values-clarification techniques. Assessments will be conducted at baseline and at the 4- and 8-month time points. ;
