Exercise combined with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ExACT) compared to a supervised exercise programme for adults with chronic pain: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial
Overview
This study protocol outlines a randomized controlled trial comparing an eight-week combined Exercise and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ExACT) program against supervised exercise alone for adults with chronic pain. The research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of integrating psychological flexibility training with physical activity, measuring outcomes such as pain interference, quality of life, and anxiety at follow-up. The resource is intended for researchers and clinicians interested in the methodological design of clinical trials testing multimodal interventions for chronic pain management.
