Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Aim 1: Determine feasibility of and satisfaction, and perceived utility of "My Surgical Success"
Hypothesis 1: For My Surgical Success, the investigators anticipate 50% engagement in the study (feasibility). Of those who complete My Surgical Success, the investigators expect 80% satisfaction ratings, and 80% perceived utility of the information learned.
Aim 2: Determine group differences in time to post-surgical pain and opioid cessation.
Hypothesis 2: "My Surgical Success" participants will evidence quicker time to post-surgical pain and opioid cessation compared to the HE Control Group.
Aim 3: Determine group differences in within-subject pain catastrophizing scores (baseline to post-surgery).
Hypothesis 3: "My Surgical Success" participants evidence greater reduction in pain catastrophizing (measured with the Pain Catastrophizing Scale; PCS) compared to the HE Control group.
Aim 4: Determine group differences in post-surgical psychological correlates (PROMIS Depression, Anxiety, Function, Pain Interference, Sleep Disturbance, Social Isolation, Fatigue, and Pain Intensity).
Hypothesis 4: "My Surgical Success" participants will evidence greater post-surgical function and lower pain related interference compared to the HE Control Group.
The goal of this research is to advance our understanding regarding the feasibility and effectiveness of "My Surgical Success" (a digital, perioperative behavioral pain medicine treatment) and its impact on post-surgical outcomes.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
All participants are asked to provide baseline demographic information, as well as self-reported measures assessing mood, pain, cognitive and emotional responses to pain, catastrophizing, and medications. All measures are administered via a secure, HIPAA compliant, online system (REDCap).
Participants are then randomized to receive one of two digital treatments: a behavioral pain medicine intervention ("My Surgical Success") or to a health education (HE Control). Participants who have been randomized to the HE control group receive online text information about health and nutrition, and are oriented that the information is relevant for improving recovery from surgery. The digital behavioral pain medicine intervention emphasizes treatment content that targets cognitive and emotional regulation in the context of pain. "My Surgical Success" includes three brief psychoeducational video learning modules, a downloadable app with an audio file, and a downloadable PDF Personalized Plan for Success. After participants in the "My Surgical Success" group view the online treatment videos, they complete questions regarding their satisfaction with the video content, perceived usefulness of information, and likelihood to use the skills learned. All participants are tracked twice per week post-surgically to assess pain and opioid use. Data are captured for the duration of the study (12 weeks) or until patients reach opioid cessation (four consecutive surveys indicating zero opioid use). Psychosocial data are collected post-surgically at weeks 4, 8, and 12.
Post-treatment questions:
Participants in the "My Surgical Success" group are asked to rate questions about the about the video content in regards to its understandability, relevance, usefulness, their overall satisfaction, how likely they are to use the information learned.
Following surgery, all participants fill out online brief pain check-ins (2 times per week) to assess pain and medication use. Daily measures continue until the participant reports 4 consecutive reports of zero opiate use. Until reaching this endpoint, pain check-ins are collected for 12 weeks (the duration of the study).

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Active Control Group (Digital Health Education)
* Demographics survey
* Baseline surveys
* Participants receive a digital information sheet on nutrition and exercise that are relevant for people recovering from surgery. Participants are encouraged to incorporate healthy lifestyle choices into their daily routines as they recover from surgery
Post-surgery:
* Pain check-ins (2 times per week) (detailed above)
* Patients receive 30 second booster videos at 7, 14, and 21 days after surgery
* Follow-up surveys (4, 8, and 12 weeks after surgery)
No interventions assigned to this group
"My Surgical Success" Treatment Group
* Demographics survey
* Baseline surveys
* Intervention:
* 45-minute digital behavioral pain medicine intervention "My Surgical Success" that emphasized cognitive and emotional regulation of pain and downregulation of physiologic arousal.
* downloadable app with an audio file
* personalized plan that allows learners to incorporate the treatment information
* Post-video survey (detailed above)
Post-surgery:
* Pain check-ins (2 times per week) (detailed above)
* Follow-up surveys (4, 8, and 12 weeks after surgery) Intervention: Behavioral: Perioperative Digital Behavioral Pain Medicine "My Surgical Success"
Perioperative Digital Behavioral Pian Medicine "My Surgical Success"
The "My Surgical Success" website include 45 minutes of psychoeducation material developed and delivered by Beth Darnall, PhD. Viewers learn basic skills to improve regulation of pain-related distress. Treatment includes an app and a personalized plan for surgical success.
