Recent studies support the efficacy of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with people with chronic pain. In addition, Selective Optimization with Compensation strategies (SOC) can help the elderly with chronic pain to accept their chronic condition and increase functional autonomy. Our aim was to analyze the efficacy of an ACT treatment program combined with training in SOC strategies for elderly people with chronic pain living in nursing homes.
