The PROACTIVE Study for Black Elders with Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain
The PROACTIVE Study is looking at a new way to help Black elders manage chronic musculoskeletal pain (pain in your muscles, bones, or joints that lasts a long time). This study will test the PROACTIVE Intervention, which includes culturally relevant self-management education, a resource toolkit, active prayer support, and financial counseling. We are looking for 120 Black or African American individuals, aged 50-92, who have chronic musculoskeletal pain. The main goal is to see how much your movement-evoked pain (pain when you move) changes from the start of the study to 4 weeks after the intervention. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Defense and Veterans Pain Rating Scale (DVPRS) is a validated, self-reported and preferred pain scale for assessing pain intensity and its impact on activities. Possible scores range from 0 (no pain) to 10 (as bad as it could be). Movement-evoked pain (MEP) intensity during the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), a physical performance test that evaluates lower extremity functioning by assessing: standing balancing, gait speed, and repeated chair stand ability.
