Dosing Physical Activity Among Older Cancer Survivors Who Experience Chronic Pain: a Micro-randomized Trial
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to assess the best time to deliver a message to increase physical activity and how often participants will experience a pain episode in the 24 hours following their receipt of a message to increase physical activity.

Experimental Micro-randomized trial study arm |
In this one-armed, 4-week trial, participants will receive prompts to report their pain symptoms 4 times throughout the day. Participants may receive up to 4 reminders to move messages throughout the day to promote participants to engage in physical activity. The receipt of messages is randomized each day. Participants will wear a research-grade activity monitor throughout the duration of their participation in the intervention to measure physical activity behaviors. |

Detailed Description
The primary objective of this study is to test a theory-based, micro-randomized trial to determine the optimal state to deliver a message to increase physical activity by determining the probability older cancer survivors will be physically active in the one hour following a messaging prompt. The secondary, exploratory objective is to determine the probability older cancer survivors will experience a pain episode in the 24 hours following their receipt of a message to increase physical activity. Eligibility criteria is deliberately incomplete to preserve the scientific integrity of the study.
