Summary

This study tests a one-session telehealth program that teaches pain coping skills to older women (55+) with breast cancer who have ongoing pain. Participants also receive five short follow-up calls. The goal is to see if this brief training can reduce pain severity and interference, and improve quality of life. The trial involves 168 women from community cancer clinics.
