Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Researchers will compare ACT + exercise intervention (ACEx) to ACT + art intervention (Art+Ex) and usual care to see if ACT + exercise intervention works to reduce pain intensity, pain interference, and depressive symptoms.
Participants will receive ACEx program, Art+Ex program, or usual care for 8 weeks and complete tests before and after the programs.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Exercise
This group receives eight weeks' Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and exercise intervention.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
A two-hour ACT will focus on enhancing participant's psychological flexibility towards pain. All sessions will be delivered face-to-face within their local community centre.
Exercise
An hour of low-to-moderate resistance exercise aims to increase their strength and balance. All sessions will be delivered face-to-face within their local community centre.
Art and Exercise
This group receives eight weeks' art workshops (skill-based) and exercise intervention.
Art
To be comparable with the experimental group, the Art session will be a two-hour long session which aims to share different art techniques, without any active components. All sessions will be delivered face-to-face within their local community centre.
Exercise
An hour of low-to-moderate resistance exercise aims to increase their strength and balance. All sessions will be delivered face-to-face within their local community centre.
Treatment as usual
This group receives treatment as usual in the local community setting.
