An Observational Study of Outcomes Associated With Virtual Pain Management Programs Based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Implemented During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Objective: In response to COVID-19, virtual, group-based interdisciplinary pain management programs (PMPs) were rapidly implemented. This included implementing different intensities and formats of virtual PMPs to address a range of patient needs and complexity. This observational study investigated outcomes associated with virtual high and low-intensity and pre-neuromodulation PMPs based on acceptance and commitment therapy as part of routine care during the pandemic.

"Living more and struggling less": a qualitative descriptive study of patient experiences of physiotherapy informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy within a multidisciplinary pain management programme.

Objectives: Physiotherapists increasingly deliver treatment informed by cognitive-behavioural therapy, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), for persistent pain. This study explored patients' experiences of ACT-informed physiotherapy to better understand therapeutic processes and outcomes.

Design: A qualitative descriptive study was conducted.
