Developing a new approach to persistent pain management in osteopathic practice. Stage 1: A feasibility study for a group course

Findings from this small feasibility study indicated that patient satisfaction with an ACT-based pain management group was high and questionnaires indicated improvements in activity and pain acceptance. However, individual responses varied widely and full data was obtained from only eight participants. Results were interpreted cautiously and used to inform the design of further studies exploring the process and effects of integrating ACT interventions directly with osteopathic care for individual patients.
