Scientific title | Reducing Long-Term Disability Related to Pain: A Single centre, randomised controlled trial evaluating the Pain Disability Prevention Program in the Irish health service |
Study acronym | PDP Ireland |
Study objectives | 1. Those receiving 'PDPP plus medical treatment as usual' will demonstrate reduced disability, improved quality of life and reduced pain catastrophising than those receiving medical treatment as usual only. 2. Those who received the PDP intervention will report higher rates of readiness to return to work compared to those receiving medical treatment as usual. 3. That the PDPP will demonstrate a positive cost-benefit outcome, where the costs of treatment will be less than the savings associated with better outcomes |
Ethics approval(s) | The National University of Ireland, Galway Research Ethics Committee (REC) approved on the 9th of November 2009 |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Chronic pain |
Intervention | The intervention is a community based rehabilitation programme for patients with chronic pain who show elevated psycho-social risk factors for disability. Patients with pain for less than 12 months will be targeted. Patients will be randomised to either 1. Intervention group: Patients will have 10 x 1-hour sessions with a clinical psychologist in their local area (as well as Medical Treatment as Usual). The psychologist will have completed specific Pain Pain Disability Prevention Programme training. The intervention (PDP) is a cognitive behaviourally based programme involving activity scheduling, cognitive restructuring, communication skills and problem solving. 2. Control group: Medical Treatment as Usual. The duration of the intervention will be 10 weeks. The total duration of follow up will be one year. |
Intervention type | Other |
Primary outcome measure | 1. Pain Catastrophising, measured using the Pain Catastrophising Scale 2. Fear of movement measured using the Tampa Scale for kinesiophobia 3. Perceived Disability (Perceived Disability Scale) 4. Depression (Beck Depression Inventory) 5. Pain (McGill Pain Questionnaire) all 6. Healthcare costs will be measured using the Client Services Receipt Inventory, measuring healthcare utilisation for the 10 weeks prior to baseline, during the 10 week intervention and again after 12 months Patients in both groups will be assessed pre-treatment, post-treatment (or after 10 weeks for the controls) and there will be a 1-year follow-up for both groups. |
Secondary outcome measures | Readiness to return to work - with high unemployment, return to work may not be a feasible outcome measure. However we will examine changes in level of disability post intervention and readiness to return to work as a proxy for return to work. |
