Pain school: could six weeks of education ease chronic pain and depression?
NCT ID NCT07491549
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a 6-week group pain education program can help people with chronic pain become more active, feel less pain, and have lower depression. Fifty adults with pain lasting over 3 months will attend weekly 2-hour sessions covering sleep, stress, exercise, pain science, mindfulness, and medications. The goal is to see if learning about pain changes how people cope and move.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
pain education (group sessions on sleep, stress, physical activity, pain neurobiology, mindfulness, and pain medication)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, non-drug way to help people with chronic pain feel better and move more.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early study with no comparison group, so results may not be reliable or apply to everyone. The benefits may be modest or temporary.
