Telehealth Pain Self-Management for Employed Adults

CompletedNA

Sponsor: University of Washington

Conditions: Chronic Pain, Brain Injuries, Traumatic, Multiple Sclerosis, Spinal Cord Injuries, Amputation

Interventions: E-TIPS

Countries: United States

The E-TIPS trial will evaluate an evidence-based, telehealth pain self-management intervention compared to standard care (a waitlist) for chronic pain in adults with physical disabilities who are employed. Participants from anywhere in the US will be randomized to either E-TIPS, a cognitive-behavioral pain self-management intervention delivered by telephone, or a waitlist control. Outcomes, including pain interference, will be assessed at baseline, mid-treatment, post-treatment, and 6-month follow up.
