Official title
An Effectiveness-Implementation Trial of Functional Restoration for Chronic Pain Management in Active Duty Military Personnel
Overview
The proposed implementation science project will evaluate the factors that support or hinder the successful implementation of the FORT Functional Restoration Program at six Military Treatment Facilities (MTF) across the Military Health System. It will also evaluate the associated effectiveness outcomes related to chronic musculoskeletal pain management in active-duty military personnel.
Detailed description
This project will be an effectiveness-implementation hybrid type 2 study design using a stepped-wedge randomized clinical trial research design. The study will simultaneously evaluate clinical and implementation outcomes related to the establishment of functional restoration programs. The study investigators have collaborated with the Defense Health Agency (DHA) Pain Management Clinical Support Services to identify chronic pain management programs at six MTFs interested in systematically improving and assessing the outcomes of their program. The MTFs will be randomized in pairs to initiate the Implementation Facilitation strategy to improve the implementation of their program over three 6-month intervals, after an initial 6-month baseline. This hybrid design will allow for the evaluation of both implementation and clinical effectiveness research aims and support rapid translation of research outcomes. Each site will participate in a minimum 6-month baseline period prior to the intervention period to serve as its own treatment as usual.
Primary outcome measures
- Pain Impact Score (PIS) [Time frame: Baseline to 13 months]
