Sponsor's own description
Chronic pain has a significant impact on the physical and emotional functioning of those living with this condition. It is now recognized that Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an effective treatment in managing chronic pain; however, several barriers limit its accessibility. Therefore, self-help versions of ACT are promising because they offer a cost-effective treatment option that usually require little support from a therapist, and can be widely accessed. The current study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of predominantly self-help ACT interventions (web-based and bibliotherapy programs) in comparison to an education intervention among adults living with chronic pain. The current study was a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with two experimental groups and an active control group. The first experimental group received access to an internet platform with videos, interactive content and exercises based on ACT. The second experimental group received a copy of a self-help book based on ACT for chronic pain and had access to this book's website which includes audio mindfulness exercises. The third group consisted of an active control group, in which participants received pamphlet style pdf documents of education for pain (without any ACT components) as well as related practical exercises.
