Empowered Relief for Youth

Study Purpose

The purpose of this pilot study is to examine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of Empowered Relief for Youth with chronic pain (ER-Y). ER-Y is a single-session pain management class for youth focused on pain science education and teaching self-regulatory skills for pain management based on the evidence-based adult ER class. Feasibility and acceptability of ER-Y will be assessed post-class. Preliminary efficacy will be assessed by administering surveys at baseline, 4-weeks, 8-weeks, and 12-weeks post class.

Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: Empowered Relief for Youth

Empowered Relief for Youth is a single-session pain management class focused on pain science education and teaching self-regulatory skills for pain management based on the evidence-based adult ER class.

Interventions

Behavioral: - Empowered Relief for Youth

The Empowered Relief for Youth is a 90-minute class that provides pain science education, as well as cognitive, emotional, and physiologic self-regulation skills for youth with chronic pain. Youth will also develop a personalized plan to use the acquired skills daily. Participants will receive an audio file (Relaxation Response) post-class. The class provides patients rapid access to actionable skills for symptom management and pain relief.
