Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluation of the Efficacy and Mechanisms of a Novel Intervention for Chronic Pain Tailored to People Living With HIV (NCT NCT03692611)

NCT ID: NCT03692611

Last Updated: 2025-03-19

Results Overview

The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) is a validated tool measuring pain severity and its impact on daily functioning. It includes 11 items assessing pain severity (worst, least, average, current) and pain interference with general activity, mood, walking, work, relations with others, sleep, and enjoyment of life. Each item is rated from 0 (no pain/no interference) to 10 (worst pain imaginable/complete interference). The Pain Severity Subscore (0-10) is the average of four severity items, the Functional Interference Subscore (0-10) is the average of seven interference items, and the Total Score (0-10) is the average of all 11 items. Higher scores indicate worse pain severity and greater pain interference.

Skills to Manage Pain (STOMP)
The intervention group will receive treatment as usual plus the STOMP behavioral intervention. The STOMP behavioral intervention consists of 12 intervention sessions (6 group and 6 individual sessions). The sessions will be completed over a period of 12-16 weeks from enrollment. The first intervention session will be a group session for all participants followed by individual and then alternating group and individual sessions for the rest of the intervention. The intervention group will utilize a study manual on pain management in which they will use with each session. Skills TO Manage Pain (STOMP): 12 week pain self management (PSM) intervention incorporating social cognitive theory constructs.
Comparison Group
The comparison group will receive treatment as usual.The comparison group will also be provided with the intervention manual, however, no additional treatment will be provided to participants allocated to the control group. The group will not receive the PSM intervention. comparison group: Participants in this arm will receive usual care as given by providers but no behavioral PSM intervention.

Timeframe: Immediately postintervention and 3-month follow-up (postintervention)

The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) is a validated tool measuring pain severity and its impact on daily functioning. It includes 11 items assessing pain severity (worst, least, average, current) and pain interference with general activity, mood, walking, work, relations with others, sleep, and enjoyment of life. Each item is rated from 0 (no pain/no interference) to 10 (worst pain imaginable/complete interference). The Pain Severity Subscore (0-10) is the average of four severity items, the Functional Interference Subscore (0-10) is the average of seven interference items, and the Total Score (0-10) is the average of all 11 items. Higher scores indicate worse pain severity and greater pain interference.

The Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ) assesses an individual's confidence in their ability to perform daily activities despite pain. The total score is the sum of 10 items, each rated from 0 to 6, resulting in a range of 0 to 60. Higher scores indicate greater self-efficacy and a stronger belief in one's ability to manage daily tasks while experiencing pain.
