Key Points

This research aims to develop and evaluate an online pain self-management program for individuals with spinal cord injury.
Developed the 'My SCI Toolkit' program based on stakeholder input.
Conducted a pilot trial comparing coached and unguided delivery formats.
Assessed feasibility and acceptability through participant feedback.
Participants reported the program as feasible and acceptable.
Indications of potential benefits for pain management were noted.
Findings support the need for a larger trial to assess clinical efficacy.

Implication

Pilot trial finds potential in guided and unguided online pain management for spinal cord injury participants, suggesting future research directions.

Abstract

My SCI Toolkit is an accessible, stakeholder-informed, web-delivered pain self-management program that is feasible, acceptable, and potentially meaningful for people with SCI. Findings support the value of pursuing a fully powered randomized controlled trial to assess clinical efficacy and implementation potential in real-world settings.
