Clinical Trial Summary

A brief smoking cessation intervention was developed to address smoking in the context of chronic pain to increase the intention to engage in smoking cessation treatment.

Description:

The primary aim of this randomized controlled trial was to investigate the effects of a brief pain and smoking (BPS) cessation intervention on the willingness to consider quitting smoking in adults with chronic pain seeking treatment in a pain specialty outpatient clinic. The investigators hypothesized that participants randomized to the BPS intervention, relative to a brief non-tailored control smoking (BCS) intervention, would be more likely to self-report willingness to consider quitting smoking. Secondary aims included examining the effects of group allocation on the (1) interest in learning about smoking cessation programs; (2) willingness to consider scheduling a smoking cessation program; (3) scheduling a smoking cessation program; and (4) change scores of the Thoughts About Abstinence Scale (TAAS).
