VA study: could sharing your life story help ease your pain?

NCT ID NCT04560920

Summary

This study aimed to improve chronic pain care for Veterans aged 65 and older. Researchers talked with Veterans and their caregivers to understand what personal life information would be most helpful for doctors. They then created and tested a computer tool to share this personal context during medical visits, hoping it would help Veterans follow their pain care plans better and be more satisfied with their care.
