Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This pilot randomized controlled trial evaluates a brief group-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) intervention for chronic pain within a UK primary care setting. The study compares ACT against treatment as usual, reporting on clinical outcomes such as depression and disability, as well as process measures like psychological acceptance among participants with longstanding pain. Results indicate that ACT participants showed greater improvements in depression, overall improvement ratings, and pain acceptance compared to the control group at post-treatment and three-month follow-up.
