Mind-body therapies for ongoing pain following stroke

Who it’s for: Survivors of stroke
What it involves: Interview
Where: Online (Australia) or in-person SA

Summary

Ongoing pain after stroke can be challenging, with limited available or effective treatments. For some people with pain, mind-body therapies (such as relaxation, yoga, mindfulness, meditation, hypnosis) can be useful, but not enough is known about these therapies for people with pain after stroke.

Researchers from The University of Adelaide want to know about your experience of pain after stroke and your thoughts and/or experiences of mind-body therapies. The team would also like to know about possible barriers and enablers to participation in mind-body therapies, and thoughts regarding the role of physiotherapists as a provider of mind-body therapies for people with pain following a stroke.

Eligibility

• At least 18 years of age and
• Living in the community in Australia (without low- or high-level care)
• Have persistent pain (pain lasting or recurring for more than 3 months) after a stroke
• Fluent in English.

Activity

• A one-on-one interview of approximately one hour to share your experience of pain after stroke and your thoughts on mind-body therapies.
• The interview will be conducted via online Zoom meeting or in-person at the University of Adelaide (North Terrace Campus) at a time convenient for you.
