An Observational Study of Outcomes Associated With Virtual Pain Management Programs Based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Implemented During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

In response to COVID-19, virtual, group-based interdisciplinary pain management programs (PMPs) were rapidly implemented. This included implementing different intensities and formats of virtual PMPs to address a range of patient needs and complexity. This observational study investigated outcomes associated with virtual high and low-intensity and pre-neuromodulation PMPs based on acceptance and commitment therapy as part of routine care during the pandemic.

Methods

Depending on patients' needs, participants completed a virtual high-intensity or low-intensity PMP, or a virtual PMP in preparation for neuromodulation, from June 2020 to June 2022. Participants completed standardized measures of pain intensity and interference, work and social adjustment, depression, an
