Computerized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Assisted Life Management for Pain in Sickle Cell Disease
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Sickle Cell Disease, Chronic Pain
In brief
The primary aim of this study is to test the feasibility and acceptability of implementing a multimedia computerized cognitive behavioral therapy (cCBT) program for reducing SCD pain symptoms in a single-arm pilot pragmatic clinical trial. The investigators will recruit 40 SCD patients with chronic pain and/or on chronic opioid pain treatment and randomize them 3:1 to two groups (cCBT and e-Education respectively), randomizing unevenly in order to best gather feasibility data for the cCBT. Both groups will use a mobile app to track daily pain/mood. The cCBT group will receive sessions of the CALM-SCD program to complete via mobile device and will have weekly follow-up with a care coach. The Education group will receive online education modules to complete via mobile device and will also have weekly follow-up with a care coach. The primary outcomes of the trial include feasibility (recruitment, retention, provider and patient feedback) and acceptability (sessions completed) of the CALM-SCD program.
