Mobile Intervention for Pain and Obesity

Winston-Salem, North Carolina
Chronic pain is a pervasive and costly health condition among older adults that is associated with wide-ranging adverse health outcomes including falls, declining mobility, and increasing functional disability. Obesity exacerbates many of these health issues, contributing to a higher frequency of intractable pain episodes, increased pain severity, multi-site pain, and the use of stronger opioid medications compared to normal weight individuals with chronic pain. In addition, older adults who suffer from chronic pain are significantly more sedentary than those without chronic pain. Despite evidence relating increased sedentary behavior to pain, non-pharmacological treatments have largely focused on structured moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) by way of conventional forms of exercise. Recent evidence from an intervention designed to decreased sedentary behavior (SB) demonstrated the approach is effective in preventing weight regain following weight loss. A subsequent study-a mobile intervention to reduce pain and improve health (MORPH: Wake Forest Baptist Health institutional review board \[IRB\] 00046364)-demonstrated that a primarily home-delivered intervention (9 of 12 delivered in home; 3 of 12 delivered in a research center) supported by technology can produce significant weight loss, reductions in sedentary time, increases in daily steps, less pain intensity, and better physical function compared with a waitlist control. MORPH included a focus on dietary weight loss plus movement across the day through a combination of group telecoaching and a custom mobile health (mHealth) application, but results indicated that participants did not internalize the day-long movement intervention. Instead, they appeared to achieve a greater number of steps through conventional walking exercise, allowing for high levels of sitting, stiffness, and pain. MORPH concluded with a two-group randomized controlled pilot trial (RCT) in obese (BMI=30-45 kg/m2), low-active, older (55-85 years) adults with chronic pain who were randomized to either 12-weeks of active intervention or a wait-list control. This study represents an extension of MORPH-hereafter MORPH II-with the intention of immediately addressing limitations in the original MORPH study. Participants will be randomize 30 older, low-active, obese adults to the active intervention or to a standard control for 12 weeks. To build upon the last phase of MORPH, the research team will deliver this intervention fully remotely, providing cellular data-equipped tablet computers to protect participant safety and reduce technical issues that may arise due to lack of face-to-face orientation appointments. Given the current COVID-19 climate, the investigators have chosen to deliver the entire intervention remotely. The investigators are implementing intensive individual coaching throughout the program and greater emphasis on frequent movement to drive better uptake of a day-long movement program and will transition participants to a 12-week no-contact follow-up to observe whether behavior change sustains following completion of the focused intervention. This study is couched within a contemporary engineering-inspired design framework-the multiphase optimization strategy (MOST)-which emphasizes rapid identification of successful intervention components and the removal or redesign of components that are either ineffective or perceived as a nuisance. To this end, the study team will carry momentum from MORPH into MORPH II wherein the team will assess the impact of a fully remote MORPH intervention with the addition of high-contact coaching on pain ratings, physical function, levels of physical activity and sedentary behavior, and body weight. This is particularly timely given limited access to center-based resources for many during the COVID-19 pandemic, and especially those who are high-risk, including older adults with chronic pain. Aims and Hypotheses Specific Aim 1: To conduct a pilot RCT to provide initial evidence for the effect size associated with the proposed intervention on pain, sitting time, and daily steps. Investigators will also explore the impact of this program on social connection (i.e., relatedness) and physical function. Hypothesis 1: It is expected that the provision of the in-home application to contribute to clinically meaningful improvements in pain ratings and steps and a reduction in daily sedentary time compared to the control condition. Specific Aim 2: To examine whether a socially mediated, home-delivered health intervention produces lasting behavior change over a 12-week no-contact period. Hypothesis 2: It is expected that levels of physical activity at week 24 will remain meaningfully improved over baseline in the intervention condition relative to the control.

The study team will study the efficacy of a high intensity medical weight loss intervention paired with a digital platform to create weight loss and induce remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) compared to a diabetes self-management education intervention. The digital platform provides the capability to tailor the treatment plan, provide automated support, and alert providers when a participant may need more support from the clinical team. If shown to be efficacious, this research could be highly impactful, causing us to rethink our approach to care for those with T2DM and shift the paradigm for millions of individuals in the United States. Furthermore, this approach will demonstrate the feasibility of helping people engage in metabolic treatment strategies in a way that is scalable leveraging digital and mobile solutions that extend the patient-provider relationship, shift care from episodic approaches to more of an on-going model that extends into the life of the patient, while also integrated within the healthcare system workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Obesity clinical trials in Winston-Salem, NC pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Obesity clinical trials in Winston-Salem, NC work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Obesity trials in Winston-Salem, NC 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length in Winston-Salem, NC for Obesity is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility in Winston-Salem, NC several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Obesity medical study in Winston-Salem, NC ?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Obesity clinical trials in Winston-Salem, NC ?

Most recently, we added Tirzepatide for Obesity, Tirzepatide for Psoriatic Arthritis and Petrelintide for Obesity to the Power online platform.
