Developing an Activity Pacing Framework for the Management of Chronic Pain/Fatigue. Stage III: Feasibility and Acceptability Studies
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Activity pacing framework for Chronic Pain and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 112 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study explores whether it is feasible to use a newly developed activity pacing framework to standardise how activity pacing is instructed by healthcare professionals in rehabilitation programmes for patients with chronic pain/fatigue.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The activity pacing framework will be used to structure and standardise the instructions of pacing in existing rehabilitation programmes for adult patients with chronic pain/fatigue. The activity pacing framework has been developed in Stages I and II of this research. Stage I involved an online survey of activity pacing across healthcare professionals in England. The survey findings, together with existing research were used to develop the first draft of the framework. The framework was refined in Stage II: Nominal group technique (consensus method). The activity pacing framework describes the aims, facets and stages of pacing, together with how pacing relates to different behavioural typologies and other pain management strategies.
