NCT ID NCT05178082
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two online self-management programs for 163 adults with chronic non-cancer pain who were on a waiting list for specialist care. One program was a series of educational videos about pain, and the other was an online session teaching skills to manage pain. The goal was to see if these programs could reduce pain-related distress and improve daily functioning before patients received specialized treatment.
