A Web-Based Mind-Body Intervention to Improve Resilience Among Patients With Nontraumatic Painful Upper-Extremity Conditions and Comorbid Risky Substance Use: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study
BackgroundNontraumatic painful upper-extremity conditions (NPUCs) are largely age-related degenerations that affect the majority of adults. Most patients with NPUCs do not seek medical care and adjust on their own. Among those who do seek care, approximately 20% report risky...

BackgroundNontraumatic painful upper-extremity conditions (NPUCs) are largely age-related degenerations that affect the majority of adults. Most patients with NPUCs do not seek medical care and adjust on their own. Among those who do seek care, approximately 20% report risky substance use, defined as a consumption pattern that increases the risk of harm to physical or psychosocial health. In the context of NPUC, risky substance use is associated with more intense pain, emotional distress, disability, and opioid or other substance misuse (ie, cross-tolerance). Consequently, risky substance use is a significant modifiable risk factor for the progression and maintenance of chronic pain-related disability and comorbid psychopathology among patients with NPUCs.
ObjectiveThis study aims to develop, adapt, and test the feasibility of the Web-Based Toolkit for Resilient Life Beyond Pain and Substance Use (Web-TIRELESS), a novel, asynchronous, and web-based mind-body intervention aimed at modifying maladaptive pain-coping behaviors in patients with NPUC and comorbid risky substance use. This study illustrates the proposed study design, methodology, and intervention content.
MethodsIn aim 1, we will conduct live video qualitative interviews (n=20) with care-seeking adult patients with NPUC and comorbid risky substance use to inform the development and refinement of Web-TIRELESS and study procedures. In aim 2, we propose an open pilot study (n=12) of Web-TIRELESS with exit interviews and pre- and postintervention assessments to evaluate the feasibility, credibility, and acceptability of Web-TIRELESS and refine study procedures. Aim 3 consists of a pilot feasibility randomized controlled trial of Web-TIRELESS versus minimally enhanced usual care (n=50), both of which follow a web-based modality, to demonstrate the feasibility of recruitment procedures and data collection, as well as the feasibility, credibility, and acceptability of Web-TIRELESS and the control condition (adherence, retention, fidelity, and satisfaction), following prespecified benchmarks.
ResultsPatient interviews (aim 1) concluded in May 2024 and qualitative analysis is expected to be completed in September 2024. Completion of aim 2 (data collection and analysis) is expected by June 2025. The completion of aim 3 and other study-related operations is anticipated by June 2027.
ConclusionsWe will develop and test Web-TIRELESS, the first asynchronous mind-body intervention specifically adapted to enhance resilience in response to chronic pain among individuals with NPUCs and comorbid risky substance use. Results from this 3-aim study (feasibility, acceptability, and satisfaction of Web-TIRELESS) will be leveraged to inform a future efficacy randomized controlled trial of Web-TIRELESS versus the minimally enhanced usual care.
