Summary

This study tests a low-cost training program for doctors and their patients with chronic pain. The program teaches team-based skills to manage pain and reduce reliance on opioids. About 1,188 participants (patients aged 14–80 and their doctors) will take part. The goal is to see if the program improves pain, daily function, and lowers opioid use.
