Preventing Pain After Spinal Surgery with ACT
This study is testing a behavioral intervention called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people who are having spinal surgery for conditions like back pain, spinal stenosis, or disc herniation. The goal is to see if ACT can prevent long-lasting (chronic) pain after surgery and reduce the need for opioid pain medication. The ACT intervention involves a one-day workshop in person, followed by a phone call to help reinforce what you learned. We are looking for about 140 participants who are 22 years or older, speak English, and are scheduled for certain types of spinal surgery. The main way we'll know if the intervention is successful is by seeing how helpful participants find the ACT workshop immediately after it. This study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.
