Oklahoma Study of Native American Pain Risk IV: Smoking Cessation and Pain

Can Smoking Cessation Improve Physiological Markers of Chronic Pain Risk in Native American Smokers?: A Pilot Feasibility Study

Sponsor

University of Oklahoma

Enrollment

150 participants

Start Date

Sep 1, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Pain Smoking (Tobacco) Addiction Smoking Cessation Intervention

Summary

The goal of this pilot study is to assess whether 4-weeks of verified smoking abstinence following financial incentive treatment for smoking cessation improves physiological markers of chronic pain risk in adult Native American smokers. The main aims to answer are: 1. Determine study feasibility. 2. Obtain effect sizes for changes in pain amplification and pain inhibition in abstinent vs non-abstinent Native Americans. 3. Obtain effect sizes for variables in the conceptual model of the Native American smoking-pain relationship.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALSmoking Cessation

Investigators will provide financial incentives for biochemically verified abstinence at 4 weeks following treatment. This incentive is consistent with recent research using macro-level financial incentives and incorporates both short-term and long-term incentives to shape behavior.
