The efficacy of a clustered group-based acceptance and commitment therapy for patients with chronic pain — a randomized controlled semi-crossover trial
Overview
This randomized controlled trial evaluates a clustered group-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) intervention designed for patients with chronic pain who face travel barriers to weekly sessions. The study compares this intensive format against treatment as usual, measuring outcomes such as pain intensity, quality of life, and psychological factors over 12 months. Results indicate that while the intervention did not significantly reduce pain intensity or improve health-related quality of life, it did lead to statistically significant improvements in pain acceptance, willingness, and activity engagement.
