Feasibility and Acceptability of an Emergency Department Digital Pain Self-Management Intervention to Improve Acute Low Back Pain Outcomes: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Emergency Department Digital Pain Self-Management Intervention (EDPSI) and Routine Discharge Care for Low Back Pain, Mechanical and Acute Pain. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The proposed study aims to evaluate a pilot emergency department (ED) digital pain self-management intervention (EDPSI) focused on improving self-efficacy, knowledge, and skills, thus reducing the transition from acute to chronic low back pain in ED patients discharged with axial acute low back pain (aLBP). The proposed research has significant potential to improve self-efficacy (the confidence in one's ability to manage their condition) which is one of the most potent factors for improved health outcomes.

Timeline
Interventions
The EDPSI is a developed supplemental digital video for patients presenting to the emergency department with acute low back pain (aLBP). The content consists of self-management approaches for diverse adult patient preferences including biopsychosocial contributors to pain and clinical practice guidelines to self-management options. Highlights of the discharge instructions summary include follow-up with provider, red flag warnings, and medication safety. Actor demonstration of ergonomics and range of motion movements provide application of Physical Therapy (PT)-based preventative strategies. Combination therapies including PT counseling, complementary alternative medicine (acupuncture, massage, yoga, or Pilates), and use of and safety with ice or heat thermal therapies. Active participation, stress management, and involvement of support systems are addressed.
