Postoperative Telehealth Mindfulness Intervention to Improve Pain-related Outcomes and Reduce Opioid Use After Lumbar Spine Surgery
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Individual telehealth mindfulness and Group telehealth mindfulness for Chronic Low-back Pain and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 10 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Lumbar spine pain is the leading cause of years lived with a disability and affects over 50 million individuals in the United States. Rates of spine surgeries performed to address degenerative spine conditions have increased markedly. A subset of patients experience poor pain, functional, or quality of life outcomes after surgery. This study will adapt and evaluate the feasibility and potential benefits of both a one-on-one and a group-delivered, face-to-face telehealth, mindfulness intervention for patients recovering from lumbar spine surgery. The goals of the intervention are to improve short and long-term pain management, reduce the need for long-term pain medications, and improve physical and psychological well-being after surgery. The study will result in a refined intervention manual based on feasibility, participant exit interviews and satisfaction surveys which will be piloted in a future randomized controlled trial.
