NCT ID NCT05619510
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a program called PRIME for older women with chronic pain and depression who also have physical disabilities. Nine women took part in nurse-led goal-setting visits and group therapy sessions focused on acceptance and commitment. The goal was to see if this combined approach could reduce pain and improve mood without medication.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
PRIME Intervention (behavioral: nurse goal-setting visits and Acceptance Commitment Therapy group sessions)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-drug way to help older women with disabilities manage both chronic pain and depression together.
What could go wrong
This was a very small pilot study with only 9 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program is time-intensive and may not work for all.
