The E-TIPS trial will evaluate an evidence-based, telehealth pain self-management intervention compared to standard care (a waitlist) for chronic pain in adults with physical disabilities who are employed. Participants from anywhere in the US will be randomized to either E-TIPS, a cognitive-behavioral pain self-management intervention delivered by telephone, or a waitlist control. Outcomes, including pain interference, will be assessed at baseline, mid-treatment, post-treatment, and 6-month follow up.<\/p>\n

Participant Eligibility<\/h3>\n

Inclusion Criteria:<\/p>\n

– 18 years of age or older
\n– Self-reported physical disability
\n– Chronic pain defined as daily pain of \u2265 3 months duration and \u2265 3 average pain intensity in the past week on a 0-10 numerical rating scale
\n– Experiences pain for more than 45 out of the past 90 days (defined as 50% of the time or greater)
\n– Reads, speaks, and understands English
\n– Has access to and is able to communicate over the telephone with our without assistive devices
\n– Is employed, working 15-20 hours per week or more, on average, or earning in excess of substantial gainful activity (approximately $1200\/month)<\/p>\n

We will enroll individuals with a range of physical disabilities to maximize the generalizability of the results, because there is no evidence that the type of disability affects responsiveness to the proposed treatment<\/p>\n

Exclusion Criteria:<\/p>\n

– Under the age of 18
\n– Cannot read, speak, or understand English
\n– No self-reported physical disability
\n– Currently unemployed
\n– Plans to retire or leave employment within the study period
\n– Working fewer than 15-20 hours per week, on average, and earning less than approximately $1200 per month
\n– Cannot communicate or complete assessments over the phone or internet
\n– Chronic pain defined as daily pain of \u2264 3 months duration and \u2264 3 average pain intensity in the past week on a 0-10 numerical rating scale
\n– Experiences pain for fewer than 45 out of the past 90 days (defined as 50% of the time or less)
\n– Currently participating in another pain study or cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) study<\/p>\n
