Summary
This study tests a program called SPARK for adults aged 50 and older who have pain, depressive symptoms, and trouble moving around. Participants receive 8 nurse visits at home to help them cope with pain and improve their mood. The goal is to see if this approach reduces pain intensity, pain interference, and depressive symptoms.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a practical, non-drug way for older adults to reduce pain and depression and stay active at home.
