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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Pain Coping Skills Training (PCST) - a behavioral program delivered via telehealth
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a simple, accessible way for older women with breast cancer to better manage pain and improve daily life.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage trial (168 participants) testing a behavioral intervention, so results may not apply to all. The program is brief and may not help everyone.
