VCOM Pain Free Research Collaborative for Chronic Pain
This study, called the VCOM Pain Free Research Collaborative, is looking at different ways to help people with chronic pain. It combines several approaches: behavior change coaching, nutrition guidance, autonomic recalibration (using a wrist sensor), dry needling, and osteopathic manipulative treatment. You might be able to join if you are between 21 and 80 years old and have ongoing chronic pain that isn't from a recent injury. The study will measure changes in your pain intensity, how much pain interferes with your life, and your use of pain medications to see if these treatments are helpful. The current status of this study is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study planning to enroll 120 participants. The phase of the study is not specified.
- What's involved
- You will have consultations for behavior change coaching, follow a 12-week nutrition protocol, wear a wrist sensor for autonomic recalibration, and receive dry needling and osteopathic manipulative treatment. Your pain levels and medication use will be assessed at the beginning of each visit for about 6 months.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your pain intensity, pain interference, and analgesic use will be measured through study completion, which is anticipated to be an average of 6 months.

What this trial measures
- Pain Intensity (NRS Pain Scale)Beginning of each Visit through study completion, an average (anticipated) of 6 months
0-10 Pain Rating. 0=no pain to 10=pain as intense as you can imagine
- PROMIS (Pain Interference, SF4a)Beginning of each Visit through study completion, an average (anticipated) of 6 months
Pain interference survey. Answers range from "Not at all" to "Very Much" when relating to the impact of pain on daily life.
- Use of analgesics (QAQ-Quantitative Analgesic Questionnaire)Beginning of each Visit through study completion, an average (anticipated) of 6 months
Survey listing all medications taken for pain. All types are converted in equivalent doses of morphine and scored.
- Human Flourishing (Secure Flourishing Index)Beginning of each Visit through study completion, an average (anticipated) of 6 months
Measure of Human Flourishing across 6 Domains. Scores range from 0-10 with lower scores indicating lower flourishing and higher scores indicating higher flourishing.
