Summary
This study is for adults with chronic pain who have been taking daily prescription opioids for at least 3 months. It tests three approaches in sequence: a low-dose buprenorphine patch, a brief pain-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, and a type of brain stimulation called rTMS. The goal is to see if these treatments can reduce pain, improve quality of life, and lower the risks of long-term opioid use. About 240 participants will be followed for up to a year.
