Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Pain Interference
Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System-29 (PROMIS-29); Items are rated from 1-5 and then summed with higher scores indicative of greater pain interference
Treatment Acceptability
Credibility and Expectancy Questionnaire (CEQ); Items are rated from 1-9 and then summed with higher scores indicative of greater acceptability

Secondary Outcome Measures

Pain Interference
Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System-29 (PROMIS-29); Items are rated from 1-5 and then summed with higher scores indicative of greater pain interference

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The present study aims to adapt and modify a brief presurgical Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) intervention aimed at preventing the transition to Chronic Post-Surgical Pain (CPSP) and reducing long-term opioid use. Investigators will then assess the acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of the finalized intervention to prevent the transition to CPSP and reduce post-surgical opioid use six months following lumbar spine surgery. Finally, investigators will identify psychosocial and psychophysical phenotypes associated with response to this intervention.
