Study Summary
The primary purpose of the R21 is using an experimental medicine research approach to study whether a chronic, progressive-based exercise program will help Veterans suffering from chronic low back pain (cLBP) and PTSD achieve exercise maintenance, and shared symptom reduction, through neuropeptide Y mediated improvements in putative factors (self-regulation and reward sensitivity) known to improve exercise related self-efficacy and motivation.
Primary Outcome
This 4-item continuous measure categorizes stages of behavioral change based on the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) stages (precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action and maintenance), specifically in the context of exercise behavior change. Each stage reflects a different level of readiness to exercise, where precontemplation means that the patient is not actively considering exercise behaviors, whereas a patient in the maintenance stage has been actively exercise regularly (3 times per
Interventions
- BEHAVIORAL Waitlist Control
- BEHAVIORAL Progressive exercise training
