What this trial studies
This project tests the effectiveness of telemedicine collaborative management (TCM) alone versus TCM combined with Cooperative Pain Education and Self-Management (COPES) for patients with chronic pain and opioid use disorder. The study aims to improve patient outcomes related to pain interference and symptoms of opioid misuse through virtual interventions. Both approaches are designed to assist primary care providers in managing long-term opioid therapy and improving access to behavioral pain treatment. The trial is a randomized hybrid effectiveness-implementation study, focusing on underserved populations.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are individuals engaged in telemedicine interventions for chronic pain and opioid use disorder.
Not a fit: Patients not engaged in the telemedicine intervention will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved management of chronic pain and opioid use disorder, enhancing patient quality of life.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success with telemedicine and behavioral interventions for pain management, indicating a promising approach.
