StressModex for Post-Traumatic Neck Pain

Sponsor: University of Southern Denmark

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Post-traumatic neck pain is a common consequence of traffic-related and other accidental injuries. While many individuals recover, a subgroup develops persistent pain, disability, and psychological distress. Building on previous adaptation and feasibility work, this randomised pilot trial will assess the feasibility of conducting a future definitive randomised controlled trial comparing StressModex plus treatment as usual (TAU) with TAU alone in individuals at risk of persistent post-traumatic neck pain. The primary feasibility objectives are to assess recruitment using a revised multi-source recruitment strategy and participant retention and remote outcome data collection. Secondary feasibility objectives are to assess the feasibility and acceptability of randomisation, characterise TAU and concurrent healthcare use, and estimate parameters relevant to the sample size calculation for a future definitive RCT. Intervention fidelity, adherence, acceptability, safety, and practical aspects of intervention delivery will additionally be monitored. The pilot trial is not designed or powered to evaluate the effectiveness of StressModex.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

StressModex plus Treatment as Usual

StressModex is a physiotherapist-delivered intervention combining guideline-based exercise therapy with stress inoculation training. Participants receive 10 treatment sessions over six weeks. Exercise components target neck mobility, strength, endurance, and sensorimotor function. Stress inoculation training components are integrated into six sessions and focus on stress education, relaxation strategies, coping skills, and self-management of stress-related symptoms following trauma.
