Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Arthritis - Post Surgical, Other Activity-limiting Pain

In brief

The overall goal of this real-world comparative effectiveness research (CER) study is to reduce disability among older home health patients by treating their pain more effectively. To achieve this goal the investigators will conduct a cluster randomized controlled trial of a physical therapist (PT) delivered intervention provided to VNSNY home health care patients with activity-limiting pain. The intervention is an evidence-based non-pharmacological program to reduce pain and pain-related disability that utilizes cognitive-behavioral pain self-management (CBPSM) techniques.
