Trial Outcomes & Findings for Online Education and Gentle Exercise Intervention (NCT NCT03440320)

NCT ID: NCT03440320

Last Updated: 2025-06-13

Results Overview

Change from baseline in pain on the Brief Pain Inventory scale following the 8-week intervention. The measure scores range from 0 to 10 with higher scores indicating more severe pain and greater interference. Reported scores indicate the change in scores from baseline to 8-weeks (after the intervention), with a potential range from -10 to 10. Negative scores would indicate and improvement (decrease) in pain severity and interference, while positive scores indicate an increase in pain severity and interference. Caregiver and care receiver completed the assessment on their own pain.
