Internet-Delivered Pain Self-Management for Pancreatitis Pain

This study is testing two internet-delivered programs for people with chronic pancreatitis (CP) or acute recurrent pancreatitis (RAP) who experience severe abdominal pain. One program, called "Internet-delivered pain self-management (CBT Condition)," teaches skills like identifying symptoms and changing negative thoughts. The other, an "Education Program," provides information about pancreatitis and its treatments. The goal is to see if these programs can reduce pain severity and how much pain interferes with daily life. You might be able to join if you are at least 18 years old, have a diagnosis of CP or RAP, and are willing to use a personal device with internet access or borrow one from the study. The study aims to enroll 280 participants. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Compensation

Follow-up
Pain severity and interference will be measured at the start of the study, and again at 2 months and 6 months after the program begins.

What this trial measures

  • Change in pain severity and pain interferenceBaseline, 2-month follow-up, 6-month follow-up

    The Brief Pain Inventory Short Form (BPI) assesses pain intensity and pain interference in a 24-hour time frame. Participants will complete prospective monitoring for seven days at each assessment. Four pain intensity items evaluate worst, least, average, and current pain intensity and 7 pain intensity items evaluate pain interference with sleep, mood, walking ability, general physical activity, work, relationships, and enjoyment of life.
