Brief summary (from the registry)
The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a combined Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and exercise online programme compared to an online self-management guide. Pain management programmes are the recommended treatment for chronic pain, however a number of barriers to their widespread implementation have been identified including geographical distance from speciality programmes, functional disability limiting the mobility of people with CP and economic limitations(1). eHealth interventions have the potential to address a number of these barriers and recent reviews have reported reductions in pain(2), improved knowledge and understanding about chronic pain and chronic pain management, improved function(3) and improvements in quality of life(4) following eHealth interventions. The intervention in this study will be delivered online. Participants will be randomly allocated to a combined MBSR and exercise programme (Group A) or an online self-management guide (Group B). Group A will take part in an 8 week live online weekly mindfulness sessions based on the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) programme facilitated by a qualified mindfulness teacher, in addition to a supervised exercise classes led by a Physiotherapist. Group B will receive access to an 8 week online self-management guide containing 8 self-directed guides, which will be made available to participants biweekly. Outcomes of feasibility and acceptability will be investigated in addition to a preliminary examination of between group clinical effects at baseline immediately post intervention and at a three month follow up, using validated patient reported outcome measures. In addition all participants will wear a Fitbit activity monitor for the duration of the eight-week interventions to capture activity measures. A qualitative study will also be conducted to gather participants' perceptions of the programme and its usefulness
