Feasibility Trial of a Mind-Body Activity Pain Management Program for Older Adults With Cognitive Decline.
Abstract
The relationship between chronic pain (CP) and cognitive decline (CD) is bidirectional among older adults. The CP-CD comorbidity can progressively worsen cognitive, physical, emotional, and social functioning with aging. We explored the feasibility and outcomes associated with two mind-body activity programs for CP and CD that focus on increasing walking using time goals (Active Brains) or step-count reinforced via Fitbit (Active Brains-Fitbit).
