Bridging this gap, the Hypermobile Online Pain managemEnt (HOPE) program was developed with stakeholder input to be pilot tested.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted a randomised controlled trial of the HOPE program to assess Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM), Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM) and Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM) and eight clinical effectiveness outcomes. Intervention participants were given 8\u2009weeks to complete 12 self\u2010paced modules, while control participants continued treatment as usual.

This pilot trial of the novel Hypermobile Online Pain managemEnt (HOPE) program is important in guiding the creation of evidence\u2010based and stakeholder\u2010relevant online resources. Promising results suggest the importance of further refinement and retesting its effectiveness before wider implementation among the hEDS\/HSD population so as to empower them in pain self\u2010management.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/ejp.70030","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,29]],"date-time":"2025-04-29T06:10:03Z","timestamp":1745907003000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["HOPE for Hypermobile Ehlers\u2013Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD)\u2014A Pilot Randomised Controlled Trial of Feasibility, Acceptability and Appropriateness"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"29","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3197-1064","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Min Tze","family":"Chew","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Health and Human Sciences Macquarie University  North Ryde New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4075-0733","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emre","family":"Ilhan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Health and Human Sciences Macquarie University  North Ryde New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9178-2535","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Leslie L.","family":"Nicholson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Health and Human Sciences Macquarie University  North Ryde New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7816-2198","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sarah","family":"Kobayashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Health, Kolling Institute University of Sydney  St Leonards New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5577-2732","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Verity","family":"Pacey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Health and Human Sciences Macquarie University  North Ryde New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7170-1697","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alan","family":"Hakim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Ehlers\u2010Danlos Society, The Ehlers\u2010Danlos Society \u2013 Europe  London UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3259-1242","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cliffton","family":"Chan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Health and Human Sciences Macquarie University  North Ryde New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pec.2020.06.007"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/jxx.0000000000000672"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/1040\u20103590.10.2.176"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/09638288.2017.1419294"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/09638288.2019.1641848"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/09638288.2021.1933618"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajhg.2018.02.018"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12874\u2010018\u20100550\u20106"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2478\/rir\u20102023\u20100010"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/mop.0000000000000541"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12888\u2010016\u20100922\u20106"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1051\/tpe\/2019002"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/papr.13227"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/09638288.2024.2351180"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10067\u2010024\u201007172\u20103"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_7_17_1","first-page":"129","article-title":"Pain Assessment: Global Use of the Brief Pain Inventory","volume":"23","author":"Cleeland C.
