About

This is a one group study using a hybrid implementation design.

Full description

The proposed pilot study will collect preliminary data to support a larger hybrid effectiveness-implementation study designed to examine the implementation of the evidence-based Mindful Awareness in Body-oriented Therapy (MABT), delivered by massage therapists, on patient and implementation science outcomes in an interdisciplinary chronic pain clinic. The combined foci of this mixed-methods pilot study is expected to provide an indication of implementation success, highlight implementation processes, and show treatment effectiveness on health outcomes.1 MABT is a mind-body therapy designed to teach interoceptive awareness skills for symptom management and emotion regulation. The proposed pilot study uses mixed methods and a single-group repeated measures design to explore MABT implementation and to estimate the effect of MABT to reduce symptomatic distress in the treatment of chronic pain at the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine at Vanderbilt Clinic (OCIM).
