Feasibility and acceptability of a single-session perioperative acceptance and commitment therapy workshop for preventing chronic postsurgical pain: a single-arm, non-randomized pilot trial.
Article in Frontiers in pain research (Lausanne, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: This pilot trial evaluated the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of a single-session, group-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) intervention for patients undergoing spine surgery (SS) to prevent chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP). Methods: Forty-five adults (M Results: Of the enrolled participants, 58% attended the workshop, all of whom completed the entire workshop. CEQ and THQ scores indicated high credibility and helpfulness immediately after the intervention and at 1-month post-surgery. Exploratory analyses examining health outcome changes following ACT during the post-surgery period revealed that pain severity and interference, depression and anxiety all decreased over time. Discussion: These findings suggest that a single-session ACT intervention is feasible and acceptable for patients undergoing SS and may enhance both pain-related functioning and improve psychological outcomes following surgery. Future research should explore the efficacy of this approach in larger, randomized controlled trials to further establish its impact on CPSP prevention.
