Brief Summary:
This project aims to assess the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a supervised group-based art intervention for adults with chronic low back pain (CLBP).
Detailed Description:
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a widespread and debilitating condition that affects millions globally, profoundly impacting individuals' physical, psychological, and social well-being. This pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) aims to explore the feasibility and potential efficacy of a novel intervention that combines supervised group art therapy with exercise for adults suffering from CLBP.
The primary objective of this study is to assess participant recruitment, retention, and adherence while identifying any logistical challenges encountered during the implementation of the intervention. The investigators will gather preliminary data on its effectiveness by measuring changes in pain intensity, functional disability, psychological flexibility, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL).
In addition to quantitative measures, the investigators will conduct qualitative interviews and focus groups to explore participants' lived experiences, identifying facilitators and barriers to engagement. By integrating art therapy-an approach that promotes emotional expression and coping strategies-this study seeks to provide a holistic method for pain management, ultimately enhancing the HRQoL of individuals affected by CLBP.
The successful implementation of this pilot RCT may yield critical insights that can inform a larger-scale definitive RCT, paving the way for innovative, interdisciplinary strategies in chronic pain management and improving community health outcomes. This research not only aims to validate a new therapeutic approach but also aspires to create a supportive environment for individuals grappling with the challenges of CLBP.
