Official title
An Adaptive Design for Dosing Physical Activity Among Older Cancer Survivors Who Experience Chronic Pain: a Micro-randomized Trial
Overview
The purpose of this study is to assess the best time to deliver a message to increase physical activity and how often participants will experience a pain episode in the 24 hours following their receipt of a message to increase physical activity.
Detailed description
The primary objective of this study is to test a theory-based, micro-randomized trial to determine the optimal state to deliver a message to increase physical activity by determining the probability older cancer survivors will be physically active in the one hour following a messaging prompt. The secondary, exploratory objective is to determine the probability older cancer survivors will experience a pain episode in the 24 hours following their receipt of a message to increase physical activity.
Eligibility criteria is deliberately incomplete to preserve the scientific integrity of the study.
Interventions
- Behavioral Physical Activity Promotion Intervention
This physical activity promotion intervention is a micro-randomized trial designed to determine the most effective time to send a message to promote physical activity among cancer survivors who experience chronic pain symptoms.
Primary outcome measures
- ActiGraph accelerometer measured physical activity behaviors (sedentary, light, moderate, vigorous intensity). [Time frame: 4 weeks]
- 11-point box scale to assess pain on a scale of 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). [Time frame: 4 weeks]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Age greater than or equal to 65 years.
- Patients with a history of bladder, breast, cervical, colorectal, endometrial, lung, and prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment.
- Fluent in spoken and written English.
- Patient has access to smartphone
- Ability to understand a written informed consent document, and the willingness to sign it.
Exclusion criteria
- Patient has metastatic disease.
- Patient has cancer recurrence.
Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
