Improving Health for Older Adults With Pain Through Engagement
Sponsor: Massachusetts General Hospital
Summary
The goal of this project is to conduct a randomized, hybrid type 1 effectiveness-implementation trial (N=200) to evaluate the effectiveness and implementation of a 10-week mind-body and walking program (GetActive+) vs treatment as usual (TAU). The investigators will test for improvements in self-reported, performance-based (i.e., six-minute walk test), and objective (i.e., step-count) physical function, emotional function, as well as feasibility, acceptability and implementation markers. Participants will complete measures at baseline (0 weeks), post-intervention (1 week after intervention completion), and 6-month follow-up. This study will receive support from and inclusion in the HEAL Initiative (https://heal.nih.gov/).

GetActive+
This is a 10-week group mind body program focused on improving self-reported physical activity, performance-based physical activity, and ambulatory step count by combining mind body skills tailored for individuals with chronic pain, with gradual increase in walking using quota based pacing and goal setting, adapted specifically for older adults from a medically underserved location.
