Predicting responses to self-management treatments for chronic pain: application of the pain stages of change model
Abstract
Psychological treatments emphasizing a self-management approach have become commonly accepted alternatives to medical interventions for chronic pain. Unfortunately, these approaches often fail to engage a significant portion of targeted individuals and are associated with high drop-out and relapse rates. Informed by the transtheoretical model of behavior change and the cognitive behavioral perspective on chronic pain, the Pain Stages of Change Questionnaire (PSOCQ) was developed to assess readiness to adopt a self-management approach to chronic pain. Initial studies supported the reliability and validity of four distinct scales, Precontemplation, Contemplation, Action and Maintenance. The current study was designed to assess the ability of the PSOCQ to predict self-management participation and outcome. The PSOCQ and several relevant outcome measures were assessed before and after self-management treatment by 109 chronic pain patients. Profile analysis revealed that treatment completers and non-completers differed significantly across the four PSOCQ scales. Post-hoc comparisons indicated that pretreatment PSOCQ Precontemplation and Contemplation scores discriminated these two groups. Separate analyses revealed that Action and Maintenance scores increased over the course of treatment, and that changes in the PSOCQ scales were associated with improved outcomes. These findings suggest that increased commitment to a self-management approach to chronic pain may serve as a mediator…

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
