Pain-Related Outcomes: Pre-post change (baseline to 2 months) and participant perceptions of change since baseline (n = 31)
| Baseline mean (SD) | Post-program (2 months) mean (SD) or n (%) | P-value for pre-post change* | |
|---|---|---|---|
| PROMIS-43 Pain Interference (6-item subscale): T-score (higher=worse; population mean = 50, SD = 10) | 61.6 (5.5) | 57.3 (7.2) | P =.000 |
| Pain Intensity (0 = no pain to 10 = worst you can imagine) | 6.3 (2.4) | 5.1 (2.4) | P =.004 |
| Pain Self-Efficacy (0 = least confidence to 6 = most confidence) | 4.2 (1.3) | 4.5 (1.1) | P =.160 |
