Collaborative Intervention for Improving Cancer Pain Management in Cancer Survivors

This study is testing a program called ASCENT to help cancer survivors manage their pain better. Cancer pain can be a big problem for many people, and this study aims to find new ways to help. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, have a history of certain cancers (like lymphoma, myeloma, or other solid tumors) treated at a participating Mayo site in the last 15 years, and have a pain score of 5 or higher that started or worsened after your cancer diagnosis. You also need to fit the description of being rural or Hispanic. The study will look at how much your pain score changes over 6 months. Currently, the study's status is unclear, but it plans to enroll 660 people.

Study design
This study is interventional and will involve 660 participants. You will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: either receiving enhanced usual care with the ASCENT guide, or receiving the ASCENT guide plus video or phone calls with a community health worker or pain care manager.
What's involved
You will complete questionnaires and potentially have your electronic health records reviewed. If in one group, you will attend three 30-minute video or phone calls with a community health worker or pain care manager.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your pain score will be measured at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months.
