About this trial
Chronic musculoskeletal (MSK) pain, which includes spinal pain, osteoarthritis, and fibromyalgia, is a common and costly problem for older adults and is associated with decreased quality of life. In this project, investigators propose to create Reclaim Your Day (RYD), which will consist of 6, 30-min weekly video episodes highlighting patients' inspiring and illustrative experiences living with chronic pain in order to teach current patients with chronic MSK pain how to apply ACT's evidence-based strategies. INvestigators will conduct a pilot RCT (n=100) of older adults with chronic MSK pain. All participants will receive an introductory pain education video. Participants will be randomized to receive either RYD or a comparison intervention (health education videos). Investigators will examine RYD feasibility and acceptability as well as changes over time in outcomes (pain interference, depression, quality of life) and putative mediators.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ)
The Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ) is an 8 item self-report measure of patient satisfaction with treatment. The total score will be used and ranges from 8 to 32 with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction with treatment.
Time frame
6 weeksSecondary outcomes
1
Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) - Pain Interference subscale
The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) - Pain Interference subscale is a 7-item patient-reported rating of how much pain interferes with daily functioning on 0-10 numeric scales and is typically scored as the mean of the 7 items (range 0-10, higher scores = greater interference).
