Study Summary
Chronic pain is a pervasive and costly health condition among older adults that is associated with wide-ranging adverse health outcomes including falls, declining mobility, and increasing functional disability. Obesity exacerbates many of these health issues, contributing to a higher frequency of intractable pain episodes, increased pain severity, multi-site pain, and the use of stronger opioid medications compared to normal weight individuals with chronic pain. In addition, older adults who suffer from chronic pain are significantly more sedentary than those without chronic pain. Despite evidence relating increased sedentary behavior to pain, non-pharmacological treatments have largely focused on structured moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) by way of conventional forms of exercise. Recent evidence from an intervention designed to decreased sedentary behavior (SB) demonstrated the approach is effective in preventing weight regain following weight loss. A subsequent study-a mobile intervention to reduce pain and improve health (MORPH: Wake Forest Baptist Health institutional review board \[IRB\] 00046364)-demonstrated that a primarily home-delivered intervention (9 of 12 delivered in home; 3 of 12 delivered in a research center) supported by technology can produce significant weight loss, reductions in sedentary time, increases in daily steps, less pain intensity, and better physical function compared with a waitlist control. MORPH included a focus on dietary weight loss plus movement across the day through a combination of group telecoaching and a custom mobile health (mHealth) application, but results indicated that participants did not internalize the day-long movement intervention. Instead, they appeared to achieve a greater number of steps through conventional walking exercise, allowing for high levels of sitting, stiffness, and pain. MORPH concluded with a two-group randomized controlled pilot trial (RCT) in obese (BMI=30-45 kg/m2), low-active, ol
