Building Adaptive Coping and Knowledge to Improve Daily Life (Back2Life): A Pilot Feasibility Clinical Trial for Youth With Chronic Sickle Cell Pain
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Back2Life for Sickle Cell Disease. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 3 sites.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to find out how teenagers with chronic pain and sickle cell disease respond to a new training program called Back2Life and get their feedback about how to modify the program to best fit their needs. The Back2Life training program focuses on teaching pain coping skills (also known as cognitive-behavioral therapy). The program teaches skills and strategies that may help teens improve chronic pain management and get back into their everyday activities.

Timeline
Interventions
The Back2Life intervention uses an adaptive treatment approach with module-based treatment sessions selected on the basis of baseline assessment (rather than a fixed treatment approach) to allow flexibility in tailoring treatment components to meet individual family needs. All youth participants will receive the standard 6-session pain coping skills training program, consisting of learning ways to cope with and manage chronic sickle cell pain. The standard program includes topics that were identified by young people with chronic sickle cell pain and their parents as important skills for all youth with chronic pain and sickle cell disease. In addition to the standard 6-session program, youth participants may receive an additional 1 to 4 sessions that may help with specific problems and/or co-morbidities related to pain. At least one parent or guardian is required to attend the sessions with their child.
