NCT ID NCT06855732
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a 12-week Pain Self-Management (PSM) program for people with chronic pain and opioid misuse or opioid use disorder. Researchers want to see if the program helps participants manage pain better and stay in treatment for opioid use. About 204 adults from primary care clinics will take part, with some receiving the PSM program and others getting standard care. Participants will complete surveys over 9 months to track their progress.
