ELEVATE study: Exploring Lived Experiences and Views on Antidepressant Treatment in Chronic Pain

Trial Reference Number
1036
Trial Status
Open
Category
Adult Participants, Chronic Pain, CRPS, Medication, Treatments

The ELEVATE study: Can you help us understand what it is like to use antidepressants for managing your pain? This includes amitriptyline, duloxetine or any other medication. If you are unsure if this is you, please get in touch.


What is the research about?

Many people with chronic pain are prescribed long-term antidepressants to help with their pain management. However, very little is known about how people living with chronic pain experience this antidepressant treatment. We want to talk to people with lived experience to find out about the positive and negative effects of antidepressants on their life.

NOTE: No medical advice will be given during this study. If you have concerns about your pain or antidepressants, please have a conversation with your GP.


What does it involve?

  • Completing some questions about yourself
  • 45 to 60 minute chat – on phone or video (Microsoft Teams)
  • Your choice of date and time
