The Effect of Adjunct Telephone Support on Adherence and Outcomes of the Reboot Online Pain Management Program: Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Internet-based treatment programs present a solution for providing access to pain management for those unable to access clinic-based multidisciplinary pain programs. Attrition from internet interventions is a common issue. Clinician-supported guidance can be an important feature in web-based interventions; however, the optimal level of therapist guidance and expertise required to improve adherence remains unclear.

Objective

The aim of this study is to evaluate whether augmenting the existing Reboot Online program with telephone support by a clinician improves program adherence and effectiveness compared with the web-based program alone.

Methods

A 2-armed, CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials)-compliant, registered randomized controlled trial
