The Thrive Study: Improving Multimodal Physical Function in Adults With Heterogenous Chronic Pain: Multi-site Feasibility RCT
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating GetActive-Fitbit and Healthy Living for Pain for Chronic Pain. Completed, enrolled 92 participants across 3 sites.
Detailed Summary
The investigators aim to conduct a randomized controlled trial to test the feasibility of a mind-body walking program compared to a health education program for individuals with chronic musculoskeletal pain. The investigators will assess the feasibility of recruitment procedures (enrollment, recruitment of racial and ethnic minorities) and intervention delivery (fidelity, adherence, credibility, satisfaction, optimization), following pre-specified benchmarks. Both programs will be delivered in-person.

Timeline
Interventions
GetActive-Fitbit is an adaptation of the original GetActive-Fitbit program, a mind-body program for the unique needs of individuals with chronic musculoskeletal pain that incorporates activity skills to help individuals improve all aspects of physical function. The GetActive-Fitbit sessions address mind-body skills (e.g., mindfulness, deep breathing, self-compassion), walking skills (e.g., step goals, quota-based pacing), and skills to change thinking (e.g., identify unhelpful thoughts about pain and activity, challenging thoughts). The format is a 10-week program delivered in-person with weekly group sessions and home practice of skills and walking.
Healthy Living for Pain is an active intervention that will be dose, attention, and time matches to the GetActive-Fitbit program. Healthy Living for Pain is an adaptation of the Health Enhancement Program, developed by Dr. Vranceanu and colleagues from Stony Brook, with adjustments for patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain. The Healthy Living for Pain sessions provide educational information on chronic musculoskeletal pain, the role of sleep and nutrition, physical activity, healthcare management, medication use, and social connection. The format is a 10-week program delivered in-person with weekly group sessions and home practice journaling.
