This study will evaluate the sustainability of pain and functional outcomes along with return to opioid use in a population of patients that successfully completed a comprehensive interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation program. In addition, this study will compare outcomes sustainability and return to opioid use between pain program graduates who receive post discharge self-management resources consisting of a DVD with videos of recommended flexibility practice (standard of care) or access to an online telerehabilitation platform that provides patients with access to the flexibility practice videos on a variety of telecommunication devices (e.g., computer, smart phone, tablet).
The primary purpose of this paper is to compare the use of an online telerehabilitation platform versus a standard prerecorded DVD in supporting the sustainability of outcomes achieved during a comprehensive multidisciplinary pain rehabilitation program.
Primary Hypotheses Graduates from a comprehensive interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation program will…

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Telerehabilitation | Experimental | Participant randomized into the telerehabilitation group will receive verbal and written discharge recommendations from each member of the team as usual. They will also be given a login to the online telerehabilitation platform where they will find the designated flexibility routines which can be accessed from a computer, tablet/slate, or smart phone at any time. Participant will receive electronic reminders via email and/or text message to perform their home program and complete the follow up questionnaires. Other physical therapy exercises may be recommended based on individual patient's need. These exercises will be provided in verbal and written form. |
|
| Usual care | Active Comparator | Participants randomized into the usual care group will receive verbal and written discharge recommendations from each member of the team as usual. They will be provided with a copy of the DVD and instructed to practice one of the two routines at least 5 days per week. They will also be given a login to the online platform but will only have access to complete the follow up questionnaires. Participant will receive electronic reminders via email and/or text message to complete the follow up questionnaires. Other physical therapy exercises may be recommended based on individual patient's need. These exercises will be provided in verbal and written form. |

| Online Telerehabilitation Platform Access | Other | Participants will have 24/7 access to a standardized set post-discharge exercise videos and self-management instructions across multiple internet connected devices (e.g. computer, tablet, smartphone). Standardized exercises include a flexibility routine that participants learned and performed with a physical therapist while in the pain management program. Self-management instructions are also written versions of concepts learned and practiced with a member of the multidisciplinary team during the pain management program. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Adherence to post-discharge home exercise recommendations | Self-reported home exercise program adherence. Utilization data from the online telerehabilitation platform will also be collected for the telerehabilitation group. | 12 months post discharge |
| PROMIS Measure - Physical Function - Short Form 8b | PROMIS Physical Function instruments measure self-reported capability rather than actual performance of physical activities. This includes the functioning of one's upper extremities (dexterity), lower extremities (walking or mobility), and central regions (neck, back), as well as instrumental activities of daily living, such as running errands. A single Physical Function capability score is obtained from a short form. Each Physical Function instrument is appropriate for the adult general population and adults with chronic health conditions. | 12 months post discharge |
| PROMIS Measure - Pain Interference - Short Form 4a | The PROMIS Pain Interference item banks assess self-reported consequences of pain on relevant aspects of one's life. This includes the extent to which pain hinders engagement with social, cognitive, emotional, physical, and recreational activities. Pain Interference also incorporates items probing sleep and enjoyment in life, though the item bank only contains one sleep item. The pain interference short forms are universal rather than disease-specific. All assess pain interference over the past seven days. | 12 months post discharge |
| PROMIS Measure - Self-Efficacy for Managing Symptoms - Short Form 8a | Self-efficacy is defined as confidence in one's ability to successfully perform specific tasks or behaviors. Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Conditions assesses confidence in one's ability to successfully perform specific tasks or behaviors related to one's health in a variety of situations. Several domains of Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Conditions relate to specific aspects of managing chronic conditions. Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Conditions - Manage Symptoms: Confidence to manage/control their symptoms, to manage their symptoms in different settings and to keep symptoms from interfering with work, sleep, relationships or recreational activities. The Self-Efficacy item banks are universal rather than disease-specific. The respondent should be an adult (age18+) and have at least one chronic health condition. The PROMIS Adult Self-Efficacy items banks have been modified from the NIH Toolbox Self-Efficacy item bank. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Technology Acceptance Model Questionnaire | The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) Questionnaire used in this study is a 23-item self report questionnaire investigating participants perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived-ease-of-use (PEOU) of the internet. Higher scores for PU and PEOU are purported to influence an individual's intention to use a particular technology. | 12 months post discharge |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Program-Specific Outcomes Questionnaire | A 33-item questionnaire developed by the pain program to track post-discharge outcomes over time. This measure will be compared to the PROMIS measures to evaluate concurrent validity of the program-specific questionnaire. | 12 months post discharge |

A stratified random sampling approach will be used for this study whereby graduates from the BPRP will first be identified as having weaned off opioid medications (weaners) or did not wean off opioid medication (non-weaners). Once stratified into these two groups, participants will then be randomly assigned to either the standard care group (control group) or the telerehabilitation group (intervention group) based on sequential enrollment into each study group. Participants will continue with there post-discharge exercise and self-management program for one year, completing follow up assessment using the online platform at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post discharge.
