Agile Development of a Digital Exposure Treatment for Youth With Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Chronic Pain, Exposure, Adolescent Behavior, Child Behavior
In brief
This project proposes to systematically develop and evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a digitally delivered, graded exposure treatment for youth with chronic musculoskeletal pain, utilizing a sequential replicated and randomized single-case experimental design (SCED). SCED provides the opportunity to rigorously evaluate treatment effectiveness at the individual level. Development of iGET Living will be based on a series of short iterations, with alpha testing (Aim 1) on a small sample of adolescents with chronic pain (N = 15). For Aim 1, participants will participate in one session (lasting 2 hours). In Aim 2, Participants will be enrolled in a baseline period ranging from 7-25 days (done to support SCED methodology) after which they will be enrolled in the online intervention program, lasting 6-weeks. Patients will be contacted 3-months post-discharge from treatment (week 22 of enrollment) and will complete self-report outcome measures at this time.
