What this research studies
This research focuses on enhancing patient-oriented research in pain management and opioid use disorder through mentorship and the development of digital health interventions. Dr. Beth Darnall will mentor early-career investigators while also expanding her own research on scalable digital behavioral medicine for individuals dealing with chronic pain and opioid misuse. The project includes a national virtual randomized controlled trial to assess the effectiveness of these interventions on pain and opioid-related outcomes.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates include individuals experiencing chronic pain and those with a history of prescription opioid misuse.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have chronic pain or opioid use disorder may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved pain management strategies and reduced opioid misuse for patients.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown promising results in using digital health interventions for pain management and opioid misuse, indicating a potential for success in this approach.
