FAMILIA Trial Design

3Treatment groups

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Music ListeningExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Following a one-time meeting with a music therapist, an electronic playlist will be compiled for the Veteran to listen to during the 12-week treatment period.

Group II: Music ImageryExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

MI sessions will be delivered by board-certified music therapists with specialized training in MI and the study treatment protocol.The 8-session protocol has two stages. Stage 1 (sessions 1-4) is focused on learning to use music and imagery for self-regulation. Once the Veteran has demonstrated skill in using music for self-regulation, Stage 2 (sessions 5-8) shifts to identify and deepen their inner resources and how they can use those resources for self-care.

Group III: Usual careActive Control1 Intervention

Participants in the usual care arm (as is the case for MI and ML groups) may receive analgesics and non-pharmacological treatments (e.g., physical therapy) for their chronic musculoskeletal pain.

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is this clinical research available to participants at the present time?

"Affirmative. Clinicaltrials.gov data shows that, since its initial posting on September 1st 2021 and last modification on June 28th 2022, this study is actively seeking participants with an aim of recruiting 60 individuals from a single site."

Answered by AI

How many participants have volunteered for this clinical trial?

"Affirmative. Clinicaltrials.gov documents the fact that this clinical trial, which became visible on September 1st 2021, is still open for recruitment. 60 individuals need to be welcomed from one centre in total."

Answered by AI

What specific end goal is the research team striving to achieve?

"The primary aim of this 3-month clinical trial is to evaluate how many eligible veterans accept and complete the study's protocol, including intervention sessions. Secondary objectives include an assessment of pain interference using the Brief Pain Inventory (score range: 0 - 10; higher scores indicating more disruption), a Centrality of Pain Scale (score range: 10 - 50; worse outcomes associated with greater centrality) and a Numerical Rating Scale for Pain Intensity (score range: 0 - 10; higher values representing increased intensity)."
