Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to conduct a pragmatic clinical trial comparing the effectiveness of: (1) 8-week cognitive behavioral therapy for chronic pain (pain-CBT; sixteen hours total treatment time); and (2) a 1-session pain relief skills intervention for chronic pain (Empowered Relief; two hours total treatment time).

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to conduct a pragmatic clinical trial comparing the effectiveness: (1) 8-session cognitive behavioral therapy for chronic pain (pain-CBT); and (2) a 1-session pain relief skills intervention for chronic pain (Empowered Relief). The investigators aim to understand for patients which treatment works best. Online evidence-based behavioral treatment for pain will greatly expand access to patients across the U.S. living with diverse chronic pain conditions. Results from this study will fill several critical gaps in evidence that are preventing patients and physicians from making informed decisions about their pain care. This study will provide a low-cost, relatively low-risk, widely available and feasible protocol that directly addresses the needs of millions of community-based outpatients and their physicians.
