This information is provided directly by researchers, and we recognise that it isn't always easy to understand. We are working with researchers to improve the accessibility of this information. In some summaries, you may come across links to external websites. These websites will have more information to help you better understand the study.


The goal is to undertake a Decentralized Randomized Pilot Feasibility study to inform the methods for a definitive Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) (including recruitment success, participant experience, intervention delivery, safety, outcome measurement and sample size estimation). The main question is if the methods used are feasible for an adequately powered future RCT. Participants will be randomly allocated to receive either: Intervention - OldPain2Go® treatment or Placebo Control - Jacobson's progressive relaxation

Start dates may differ between countries and research sites. The research team are responsible for keeping the information up-to-date.

INTERVENTIONAL

Intervention Type : OTHER
Intervention Description : OldPain2Go® is a non-medical intervention for the treatment of chronic pain conditions including, but not limited to Chronic Low Back Pain. The underlying premise is rooted in the biopsychosocial model of pain, where the cause of ongoing pain and the development of chronicity, is believed to lie beyond simple tissue damage, injury or malfunction. The intervention draws upon subconscious communication as a means to help patients to re-frame their pain as less threatening and remove old, out of date, pain messages that no longer serve a purpose.

Intervention Arm Group : Oldpain2go®;

Intervention Type : OTHER
Intervention Description : Jacobson's progressive relaxation is a technique commonly used for eliciting the relaxation response and relieving muscular tension. It involves sequentially relaxing various muscle groups, often starting at the head and moving down the body to the feet.

Intervention Arm Group : Jacobson's progressive relaxation;
