A Community Health Worker-Led Program for Chronic Pain and Loneliness in Older Adults
NCT06671925 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a new community health worker-delivered program (Strengthening COnnections to Overcome Pain, or SCOOP) that teaches strategies for managing chronic pain and loneliness to older adults living in rural areas. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does participating in SCOOP result in less pain interference with daily life? 2. Does participating in SCOOP result in decreased loneliness? 3. What is the level of participant engagement in SCOOP? Researchers will compare people who have participated in SCOOP with people who have not participated in SCOOP to see if SCOOP is helpful in decreasing pain interference and loneliness. Participants will: 1. Watch brief videos teaching strategies to manage pain and boost social connections. 2. Engage in up to 7 weekly coaching sessions with a community health worker. 3. Complete two telephone interviews about health, mental health, and functioning: one at baseline, and one 2 months later.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06671925
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06671925 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 80 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Michigan, which has 1,126 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Chronic Pain appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Strengthening COnnections to Overcome Pain (SCOOP) is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06671925 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Michigan. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
