Management of Chronic Non-Cancer Pain With Non-Pharmacological Therapies
Sponsor: Hospital San Juan de Dios del Aljarafe de Sevilla
Summary
A randomized controlled clinical trial will be conducted, involving a psychoeducational activity as the intervention. There will be a control group of patients with non-cancer chronic pain who will continue their usual treatment. The trial will end after 3 months. Pain, well-being, medication management, mood, self-esteem, and quality of life will be compared just before starting the workshop with the status at the end of the workshop (one month later) to assess the immediate effect, and three months later to evaluate the medium-term effect. These measurements will be taken in both the control and intervention groups. Additionally, for the intervention group, a follow-up will be conducted six months after the workshop ends to assess the long-term effect duration. This study does not allow blinding of patients or professionals conducting the intervention, but the person analyzing the data to compare the effect produced in the control and intervention groups will be blinded. Therefore, it is an observer-blind evaluation.
