The primary objective is to collect data on the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of internet delivered Cognitive Beaviour Therapy (iCBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (iACT) on depressed mood among individuals with chronic pain relative to attention control (AC). The secondary objectives are to evaluate the efficacy of iCBT and iACT on clinically relevant outcomes endorsed by the Initiative on Methods, Measurement, and Pain Assessment in Clinical Trials (IMMPACT). Adults with chronic non-cancer pain and major depression will be randomized to receive iACT, iCBT, or AC. The interventions comprise 7 weekly online modules available through Therapist Assisted Online (TAO). Patients will be contacted weekly by a member of the study team who will be acting as their personalized online therapy coach.
The objective of this trial is to collect data on the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of internet delivered Cognitive Beaviour Therapy (iCBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (iACT) interventions tailored towards the treatment of depression and chronic pain using a doubly-randomized, attention-controlled, non-blinded, patient-preference design.
