Addressing the Epidemic of Chronic Pain Among Older Adults in Underserved Communities; The GetActive+ Study
Abstract
The goal of this project is to conduct an open-pilot (N=30) to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and fidelity of a mind-body and activity program (GetActive+) with older adults with chronic pain. The investigators will test for improvements in self-reported, performance-based (i.e., six-minute walk test), and objective (i.e., step-count) physical function, emotional function, as well as feasibility, acceptability and implementation markers. Participants will complete measures at baseline and post-intervention.
This study received support from and inclusion in the HEAL Initiative (https://heal.nih.gov/).
Conditions: Chronic Pain, Musculoskeletal Pain.
Primary outcome: Feasibility of Intervention Completion; Acceptability; Fidelity of Session Components, As Rated by Clinicians.
Enrollment: 33 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 33 participants or records.
