Development and Feasibility of a Mind-Body Intervention to Improve Physical Activity for Patients With Chronic Hip Pain: Open Pilot (HIPS Study)
The goal of this study is to conduct a feasibility open pilot study (N=5) of HIPS with virtual exit interviews among adult patients with chronic hip joint-related pain (HRP). We will use this mixed methods information to assess the feasibility, credibility, and acceptability of the HIPS intervention and optimize the program and study methodology in preparation for a pilot feasibility randomized control trial (RCT). Deliverables: \[1\] Adapt and refine open pilot protocol, patient recruitment, provider training, and other study materials. \[2\] Assess the feasibility, acceptability, and credibility of HIPS in preparation for a future feasibility RCT.
