Study Summary
Loneliness-feeling socially isolated-is a stressor that is associated with chronic pain. The investigators will first conduct a small trial of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Loneliness (CBT-L)in Veterans with chronic pain reporting loneliness. After completing this small trial, the investigators will randomize-like a flip of a coin-a total of 40 participants to receive either CBT-L or CBT for Chronic Pain. The investigators will assess loneliness, the quality and quantity of social interactions, and pain outcomes such as pain-related interference, and thinking the worst about one's pain at baseline and after the treatment period. The investigators will also track participant flow, therapist adherence to the manual, participant homework completion, and participant satisfaction with the treatment.
Primary Outcome
Loneliness will be measured using the UCLA Loneliness Scale. A 20-item scale designed to measure one's subjective feelings of loneliness as well as feelings of social isolation. Participants rate each item as 1 (never), 2 (rarely), 3 (sometimes) or 4 (often). The scores range from 20-80 with higher scores indicating worse outcome.
Interventions
- BEHAVIORAL CBT for Loneliness
- BEHAVIORAL CBT for Chronic Pain
