Objective The COVID-19 pandemic caused significant changes in healthcare, particularly pain management. To maintain care, the Multidisciplinary Activity Improvement Program (MAiP), at Department of Pain Medicine, Liverpool Hospital, was adapted for delivery through telehealth. Although MAiP’s effectiveness is well-documented, its telehealth adaptation has not been studied. This study retrospectively assesses feasibility, trends, and acceptability a telehealth-based program. Methods Using single-group retrospective cohort design, participants were patients who completed MAiP between 2020 2022. Primary outcomes: severity, interference, anxiety, stress, depression, self-efficacy, catastrophising, evaluated pre- post-treatment. Participants’ satisfaction with program assessed post-program survey. Data analysis employed generalised estimation equation modelling technique. Results 33 enrolled MAIP during period, outcomes available 22 (68% female, mean age 51.45 ± 10.41, 72.7% duration >5 years). Significant improvements observed primary outcome measures, indicating MAiP. Standardised effect sizes (ES) all ranged from small to large. Of participants, 14 survey, majority expressing finding beneficial. Conclusion study’s findings present initial evidence delivering management group programs via telehealth, expanding range services patients. These promising results advocate continued exploration as vital avenue service delivery, warranting further investigation advancement this evolving field.
