Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
It is well recognized that physical activity/exercise is an effective intervention to improve sleep, reduce pain and improve function in a variety of pain conditions. Traditional interventions to increase physical activity are challenging in older adults due to extensive staffing requirements and low adherence. The investigators plan to conduct a pilot trial in a cohort of older adults (without dementia) with both chronic musculoskeletal pain and nocturnal sleep complaints to test the effectiveness of a 12-week personalized behavioral intervention (compared to a control group) embedded within a smartwatch application in older adults. 27 cognitively intact elders were enrolled and randomly allocated to intervention or control group. Participants in the intervention arm received a 2-hour in person education session, and personalized, circadian-based activity guidelines, with real time physical activity self-monitoring, interactive prompts, biweekly phone consultation with the research team, and financial incentives for achieving weekly physical activity goal. The control group received general education on physical activity in older adults and continue routine daily activity for 12 weeks.
