How does the “REGAIN” Treatment Program Run?

The Team

A multi-disciplinary team consisting of a Pain Specialist, Pain Psychologist and Pain Physiotherapist will conduct the “REGAIN” program.

Home Practice

Home practice is an integral part of learning coping skills and tasks are set for participants to practice in between sessions.

Group Sessions

A follow-up group session will be conducted 4 to 6 weeks after the end of the program to review progress and to assist in maintaining changes.

Communication

Patients with a work related or compensational condition are encouraged to have a close liaison between their rehabilitation providers and the “REGAIN” clinicians to co-ordinate their return to work plans.

Aims of “REGAIN”

“REGAIN” does not aim to “fix or “cure” the individual’s pain, but rather to teach individuals how to feel more in control of their situation.

To improve daily functioning and encourage involvement in a range of life activities.
To reduce pain related suffering such as depressed mood, dependency and stress.
To reduce reliance on strong pain medications. (Pain Medication may take the edge of pain but will not cure it).
To promote self -reliance and self -management through an increased understanding of chronic persistent pain, and thereby reducing the need for ongoing medical or physiotherapy treatments for pain.
To encourage greater self-reliance by teaching the individual more effective pain coping strategies.
To assist in return to work or vocational retraining where this is appropriate. (Within a realistic time frame).

Who is REGAIN For?

Participants must be willing to accept that daily activities will not make pain worse, attend all sessions and be willing to accept the goals of the program.

Participants must be over 18 years of age.
Individuals with chronic pain. (Usually defined as persistent pain for longer than 3 months.)
The individual’s lifestyle has become restricted as a result of the pain.
The individual is emotionally distressed by the pain. (e.g. depressed, stressed, angry or frustrated).
There are no plans for any or further surgical intervention for the pain problem.
