Interventions

  • Coaching — BEHAVIORAL
    The intervention will likely incorporate health coaching to support participants in developing and maintaining their pain self-care plans. Details of the intervention will be updated prior to enrollment because the core components may changed based on findings from stages 1 and 2 (aims 1 and 2).

Study Details

Half of all Veterans who seek care from the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) experience chronic musculoskeletal pain. First-line treatment for chronic pain should include nonpharmacological interventions. Although Veterans have access to these interventions, there is no standardized process to personalize them to meet the needs of individual Veterans despite the fact that personalization and self-care are key components of the VHA's Stepped Care Model for pain management. This proposal seeks to adapt and evaluate a coaching intervention that will be a personalized approach to help Veterans develop and maintain pain self-care plans. The proposed research responds to VHA's strategic objectives to tailor service delivery (obj. 2.2) and develop or adapt interventions that improve Veteran outcomes (obj. 2.4).

Arms

  • Experimental: Intervention
    Participants randomized to the Intervention arm will receive the intervention for developing and maintaining a personalized pain self-care plan. The intervention is anticipated to be a coaching program that will last for about 3 months; specific details of the intervention will be updated prior to enrollment.
  • No Intervention: Control
    Participants randomized to the Control arm will receive advise to continue with their planned medical care and daily activities. Specific details and the type of comparator arm will be updated prior to enrollment because these may changed based on key partner findings in stages 1 and 2 (aims 1 and 2).
