Hi everyone!
Thank you for considering my research. My
name is Nathan, I’m a Trainee Clinical psychologist, and I’m the lead
researcher for this study on Chronic Pain. Below is an advert for the research.
Please get in touch with any questions
you may have.
Many thanks,
Nathan
Do you experience Chronic Pain?
Chronic Pain is any sort of pain that
has lasted longer than 3 months.
If this is your experience then we'd
like to invite you to take part in our research study.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT
– spoken as a word) is about as successful as any other psychological treatment
for Chronic Pain and we want to see if we can improve it further. That’s why we
are inviting you to participate in this study – to explore how an ACT-based
self-help strategy might help you live a more valued and meaningful life.
For between 15 and 17 weeks you will
be asked to complete some questionnaires and speak with the researcher over
video call or the telephone about your experiences. The interesting bit is that
you will take part in an online guided 8-week self-help based intervention.
This can be done from any internet
enabled device such as a laptop, PC, tablet, or phone and will be done in
accordance with UK Government social distancing regulations with weekly remote
support and contact from the research team.
Afterwards you will have the chance to
tell us exactly what you think.

• Aged 18 and over and currently
living in the UK.
• Able to provide informed consent.
• Computer literate with access to the
internet and a valid email address.
• Able to read English sufficient for
engaging with self-help materials and questionnaires
