Abstract

Objectives: Chronic pain is multifactorial and has large social and economic costs. Comprehensive pain management through an interdisciplinary approach addressing the biopsychosocial model of pain is beneficial. The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility and functional outcomes following participation in the 8-week virtual interdisciplinary Functional Integrative Restoration (FINER) program.

Design: Cohort study.

Setting: Virtual platform (Zoom) utilized by participants and clinicians within a large academic institution.

Subjects: 44 individuals with chronic pain meeting study criteria who participated in the virtual FINER program from September 2021 to April 2023 were included in final analysis.

Methods: Participants attended twice weekly seminars and group sessions focused on pain education, lifestyle medicine, integrative medicine, and psychological therapies virtually and completed pre- and post-program surveys. Outcomes included the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK), and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System-29 (PROMIS-29). Qualitative feedback was also obtained.

Results: From September 2021 to April 2023, 44 adult FINER participants with chronic low back and/or neck pain completed pre- and post-intervention surveys. We observed significant improvements in PCS, TSK, and various domains of the PROMIS-29, including pain interference, participation, physical function, and sleep, with modest effect sizes.

Conclusions: The FINER program reduced self-reported functional outcomes related to the participants' chronic pain. Positive qualitative feedback from FINER participants suggested mental and physical health benefits. Future investigation will include a larger cohort and will deploy active (patient-reported outcomes) and passive (mobility and sociability) digital measures to further characterize functional changes.

期刊介绍： Pain Practice, the official journal of the World Institute of Pain, publishes international multidisciplinary articles on pain and analgesia that provide its readership with up-to-date research, evaluation methods, and techniques for pain management. Special sections including the Consultant’s Corner, Images in Pain Practice, Case Studies from Mayo, Tutorials, and the Evidence-Based Medicine combine to give pain researchers, pain clinicians and pain fellows in training a systematic approach to continuing education in pain medicine. Prior to publication, all articles and reviews undergo peer review by at least two experts in the field.
