Brief summary (from the registry)
The primary purpose of the study is to determine the efficacy of a culturally adapted cognitive behavioral based tele-rehabilitation program compared to usual care for Hispanics/Latinos with chronic neck or low back pain. Goal Oriented Activity for Latinos with Spine Pain (GOALS) is an evidence-based cognitive behavioral physical therapy program that has been adapted for Hispanics/Latinos with chronic spine pain. GOALS combines 2 in-person evaluation sessions with 6 telephone treatment sessions provided once a week for 8 weeks by a physical therapist trained in cognitive behavioral approaches for pain management. Usual Care involves 8 weeks of in-person treatment as recommended by a physical therapist at a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) outpatient rehabilitation clinic. The primary outcome that will be evaluated is pain-related disability as measured by the Brief Pain Inventory Pain Interference scale. It is hypothesized that participants in the GOALS intervention will experience a greater improvement in pain-related disability than participants in the Usual Care group.
