Objectives:
Chronic pain causes significant disability and psychological distress, but barriers often prevent people with pain from engaging in traditional face-to-face pain management programs. Accessible, feasible, and effective alternative treatment options are needed.
Methods:
A prospective, feasibility pilot study was conducted to trial a novel, multidisciplinary online pain management program: the "Reboot Online" program. Twenty participants experiencing pain of at least three months duration were recruited. All participants were enrolled in the "Reboot Online" program, consisting of eight online lessons completed over 16 weeks. Lessons incorporated multidisciplinary input from medical pain specialists, physiotherapists, and psychologists. Participants were assessed at pretreatment, posttreatment, and follow-up using a suite of outcome measures examining pain, disability, catastrophising, self-efficacy, mood, and psychological distress.
Results:
13 participants completed the program (65% adherence). Following treatment, the participants had significantly improved scores on measures of pain-related disability, self-efficacy, catastrophising thoughts, acceptance of pain, symptoms of depression, and general psychological distress. These findings were retained at three months posttreatment. Participants also reported high levels of acceptability and satisfaction with the program.
Discussion:
This study provides pilot evidence for the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of an online, multidisciplinary pain program: "Reboot Online." Future investigations will focus on conducting a randomised controlled trial of this innovative and promising treatment for chronic pain. This trial is registered with ACTRN12615000660583.
