New open-access publication in Osteoarthritis and Cartilage Open
New publication in Osteoarthritis and Cartilage Open on feasibility of a novel telehealth mindful exercise intervention for chronic pain due to knee osteoarthritis using a fully decentralized randomized controlled trial design.
A supervised, telehealth, group-based mindful exercise intervention, developed by integrating mindfulness into strengthening exercises, is safe and satisfactory for knee OA. Our decentralized approach yielded excellent recruitment and retention but suboptimal adherence and racial diversity. The findings from this study will guide refinements to the mindful exercise intervention and study design to facilitate greater adherence and racial diversity.
