Study Summary

The investigators have developed a three component intervention to support shared decision-making during the early recovery phase for older adults who present to the emergency department (ED) or orthopedic urgent care with acute musculoskeletal pain. The first component is a brief interactive video to enhance patient knowledge and self-efficacy regarding treatment options with the intent of facilitating conversations between patients and emergency providers. The second component is a protocol-guided phone conversation (telecare) between a nurse care manager and the patient at 48-72 hours following discharge to assess pain severity and interference with daily activities, review analgesic use and side effects and recovery-promoting behaviors, and discuss adjustments to the patients treatment. The third component is communication with the patient's primary care provider following the telecare call to inform them of the patient's condition and treatment plan and encourage primary care followup. The short-term objective of this project is to test the efficacy of this intervention to reduce the transition from acute to chronic musculoskeletal pain among older adults and obtain data to inform implementation. The investigators will conduct a three-arm randomized controlled trial with adults aged 50 years and older who present to the ED or orthopedic urgent care with acute musculoskeletal pain. Patients will be randomized to (1) the full intervention (video + telecare + communication with primary provider), (2) video alone, or (3) usual care. The primary outcome will be pain, measured longitudinally over the course of the year following the acute care visit. Secondary outcomes will include physical function, analgesic side effects and adverse events, opioid use, depression and anxiety symptoms, sleep duration and quality, and healthcare utilization at one, three, six, and twelve months. Secondary analyses will (1) examine whether the intervention has its effect by promoting
