Pain Care at Home to Amplify Function (Pain CHAMP)

TCM care is remotely-delivered and medium-term (up to 12 months), with the objective of improving CP and OUD/misuse symptoms primarily through medication management.

The COPES program will augment the effectiveness of TCM alone. COPES is a 12-week, Interactive Voice Response (IVR)-facilitated program of CBT for CP and common sequelae (depressive symptoms, sleep difficulties, low physical activity). Ongoing COPES engagement will be tracked by the COPES system. The primary components of the intervention are: 1) a self-help handbook containing the rationale and instructions for using ten pain self-management skills and their corresponding weekly skill practice goals; 2) a pedometer-facilitated walking program; 3) daily, automated IVR calls to collect pain interference, sleep quality, pedometer-measured step count, and adherence to the pain coping skill practice ratings; and 4) weekly, two to four minute pre-recorded, personalized therapist messages based on participant IVR-reported data.
