Summary

This research study aims to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a web-based, self-guided, disease-specific self-management program tailored to individual health status profiles for patients with painful chronic pancreatitis.

Detailed description

This is a single center, prospective, open-label, pilot trial of 30 patients with painful chronic pancreatitis (CP). Participants will be assigned to a 12-week web-based, self-management program known as PainGuide that has been adapted to CP. Participants will receive specific instruction to complete one module a week over the first 4 weeks. Next, participants will receive weekly tailored messaging for the last 8 weeks using symptom scores from baseline assessments and will be asked to complete modules that best address participants symptoms. Participants will complete online surveys at baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks, and will be interviewed at the end of program to understand participants perceptions on the intervention.
