Quick Navigation

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The goal of this nonrandomized pilot study is to test a mind-body interventional approach for the treatment of chronic upper extremity pain or repetitive stress injury of the upper extremity (wrist/shoulder/elbow). 1. To determine if a mind-body intervention improves upper extremity functional capacity (ie., Disability of Arm Shoulder Hand - DASH) among people with chronic wrist, elbow, and shoulder pain 2. To determine if a mind-body intervention decreases pain intensity, pain-related anxiety, and overall somatic complaints in our trial participants. 3. To tailor the intervention and the outcomes assessment procedures for conducting a trial in a population with upper extremity pain.

Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL

Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No

Standard Ages:ADULT

Inclusion Criteria	Exclusion Criteria
1. Adult (≥ 18 years of age) 2. A disability score ≥ 40 as per the QuickDASH survey 3. Presence of pain and perceived disability for a minimum of 3 months 4. Willing to engage in a Mind-Body intervention 5. Positive visualization test (onset of pain when patients visualize themselves performing tasks that generally bring on pain)	1. Clear organic diagnosis of pain (e.g., cancer, infection, etc...) not inclusive of non-specific findings on imaging studies (e.g., mild arthritis) 2. Age greater than 60 years (due to an increased risk of there being an organic/physical cause for their pain and confounding results) 3. Diagnosis of cognitive impairment or dementia 4. Active addiction disorder, e.g. cocaine or IV heroin use, that would interfere with study participation 5. Major psychiatric comorbidity (e.g., schizophrenia). Anxiety and mild-moderate depression are not considered in this category
