Feasibility Testing of the "Face-Forward-Web" Program for Chronic Orofacial Pain
Running, not enrolling · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Orofacial Pain, Facial Pain
In brief
The goal of this study is to conduct a feasibility open pilot study (N=Up to 20) with exit interviews to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and credibility of the study protocol and Face-Forward-Web; a web-based mind-body intervention for adult patients with COP. Deliverables: \[1\] Adapt and refine open pilot protocol, patient recruitment, and other study materials. \[2\] Assess the feasibility, acceptability, and credibility of Face-Forward-Web and optimize the intervention methodology in preparation for a future efficacy study. This research leverages mixed methods information to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and credibility of Face-Forward-Web and optimize the intervention and study methodology in preparation for the subsequent pilot study and again later, for a pilot feasibility randomized control trial (RCT).
