Background and aim
ACT for Chronic Pain with Joe Tatta, PT, DPT
Promoting health behavior change presents an important challenge for practitioners who treat pain. Acceptance, mindfulness, commitment, and values are essential processes to cultivate when caring for those living with pain. Despite advances in integrative pain care many are still hurting and suffer.
Psychological flexibility empowers people to feel better and live better. ACT is the throughline that serves my approach and clinical training.
Chronic Pain Rehabilitation: Active pain management that helps you get back to the life you love.
Chronic Pain Rehabilitaiton is about understanding how chronic pain develops and ways you can manage pain and get back to the life you love. The author applies the principles of ACT to the management and treatment of chronic pain. Despite the advances in understanding how the brain and body produce pain, the standard methods used to treat chronic pain often leave sufferers with short-term relief and serious long-term complications.
Latent Class Analysis of the Short and Long-Form of the Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire- Further Examination of Patient Subgroups
A substantial literature indicates that pain acceptance is a useful behavioral process in chronic pain rehabilitation. Pain acceptance consists of willingness to experience pain and to engage in important activities even in the presence of pain and is often measured using the Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire (CPAQ). Previous traditional cluster analyses of the 20-item CPAQ identified 3 patient clusters that differed across measures of patient functioning in meaningful ways.

Integrated behavioral treatment for Veterans with co-morbid chronic pain and hazardous opioid use: A randomized controlled pilot trial.
Opioid prescription in the treatment of chronic pain is frequent and carries a risk of increased morbidity and mortality in a clinically significant number of patients, particularly those who are using opioids in a hazardous manner. Few treatment options are available that target both pain-related interference and hazardous opioid use among patients with chronic pain.
