Reaching Rural Veterans: Applying Mind-Body Skills for Pain Using a Whole Health Telehealth Intervention
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating RAMP program for Chronic Pain. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This project addresses the significant challenge of providing evidence-based non-pharmacologic pain management to rural-dwelling Veterans in the VA healthcare system who have chronic pain. For this preparatory phase (UG3), the investigators will conduct a single-arm pilot study of 40 rural VA patients with chronic pain to assess study feasibility (recruitment and retention), intervention feasibility (fidelity of intervention delivery and participant engagement rates), acceptability, and effectiveness at addressing pre-defined capabilities, opportunities and motivations.
