What this research studies
This research investigates effective non-pharmacological therapies for managing chronic pain, focusing on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) tailored for adults. It compares two innovative delivery methods: a telephonic/video program and an online program, both designed to be accessible and scalable, especially for those in underserved areas. The study aims to improve pain severity and overall quality of life while reducing reliance on opioids. Participants will engage in an 8-session program that addresses not only pain management but also related issues like depression and sleep quality.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 21 and older who experience chronic pain and are seeking non-drug treatment options.
Not a fit: Patients who do not experience chronic pain or those who are already receiving effective pain management may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could provide effective pain management solutions that reduce the need for opioid medications.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that cognitive behavioral therapy can be effective for chronic pain management, indicating a promising approach for this study.
